During the summer months (May - August), the IRS arranges visits to various industrial, preservation or miniature railway sites in the London area, usually on the evening of the second Thursday of the month. Visits are arranged to suit people travelling by public transport, after work in London. If you are travelling by car, and have empty seats, please report at the station indicated. If your car is full, or you are running late, go straight to the site. Non-members welcome, but expect to be given a membership application form! Unless stated otherwise, donations of £3.00 will be collected on the night. The IRS will keep a small admin fee; the rest will go to our our hosts or a charity of their choice.
