Welcome to the London Area of the Irish Railway Record Society

We provide a forum in London for Members of the Society and others interested in Irish transport, particularly railways, covering all aspects of the subject – historical and contemporary, infrastructure, rolling stock and people, throughout the island.

You can become a member of the society on the IRRS Membership page

Events

We hold monthly meetings  from October to April every year hosting illustrated talks by speakers on a wide range of Irish transport subjects. Usually we hold our meetings in a central London venue but due to Covid-19, our early meetings (at least) this season will be held online.
For details of this season’s meetings, including how to access the online meetings, please go to Next Events. Click here PROGRAMME2020-21updated for a pdf of the programme

For reports of previous meetings (including this season), please go to Previous Events.

Each Spring we normally hold our Transport Collectors’ Market at Chiswick, West London. We regret that our Market planned for March 2021 has been cancelled due to Covid-19. For further details about the Market, please go to Transport Collectors’ Market

Weekly Lockdown Photo

During Lockdown we published an Irish railway photo every week. For the record, these can still be viewed under  Previous Events
