Newly Appointed BTP History Writer

As with any organisation today, it is the website that is its public face and often the means by which it may be judged. In a history group especially, it is important to have information that is easy to read, easy to find and meaningful. That this website continues to attract many visitors – 36,000 from 82 countries in 2013 and many compliments, is largely due to the dedication of Martin McKay who not only created the site but has been responsible for generating and arranging much of its content. I am pleased to congratulate Martin on his appointment as a BTP History Writer in recognition of this outstanding contribution. It is most certainly well deserved; thank you Martin.

Discover Your History

Discover Your History magazine

I’m pleased to report that the November edition of Discover Your History magazine has an article about the British Transport Police History Group.

Discover Your History is an exciting new-look national magazine that takes a broad look at our past – including aspects of family and social history as well as Britain’s local and national history and heritage.

The article, which is featured in the Society Spotlight section (Pages 30 – 31) is written by our very own Rob Davison, and a very good article it is too.

He gives an overview of the BTPHG, explaining our aims and achievements – and this website is featured prominently too!

Well done to Rob for raising the group’s profile in this way.

The magazine is currently in newsagents – priced £4.99 – and for those so inclined it’s even available for iPad & iPhone.

Update: December 2013

The original article is now available here: Guardians of Travel

Thanks to Discover Your History magazine for permission to publish the article.
