About To The Trains
Hi there, my name is Seb, and welcome to To The Trains. This is my outlet for documenting Britain's railways and publishing independent railway journalism. It's a website founded by a rail enthusiast for rail enthusiasts, commuters, and occasional travellers alike. As they say, welcome on board!
I began publishing on YouTube in 2020, and it continues to be the go-to destination for comprehensive videos on everything from rolling stock to the routes they run along. The channel is home to over 30 videos, which have been collectively viewed over 60,000 times, and 650 subscribers.
Over the years, I have experimented with other formats, such as podcasts. But more recently I have focused my efforts on writing articles for the website. You'll find a variety of content here, from the news and railway fact files to trip reports and product reviews.
If you like what you see, you can subscribe to the newsletter to have new articles sent to your inbox. And if you want to help me keep To The Trains online, there is a paid tier — 'Inside Track' — at £3 a month. Most weeks of the year I put together the 'This Week on the Railway' newsletter for paid subscribers, which recaps the latest developments across the industry.
To The Trains recently reached 10,000 page views in a month (January 2025), which is pretty great considering it was nowhere in April 2024. Sure, it's nowhere near the established railway magazines and outlets, but I hope to keep growing the website in the years to come.
In the meantime, thank you for stopping by, and if you ever have a question, please feel free to get in touch. I am looking to commission articles, too, if that interests you.
Have a great day, and happy travels!
Seb
