It's ABC time again...
As Eye pointed out last year most railway titles don't submit themselves to the indignity of an ABC circulation audit, so a bowler tip to those that do.
Here the recently published 2010 circulation figures for the top three (with 2009 figures in brackets):
Railway Magazine 34,168 (34,715)
Steam Railway 32,441 (32,842)
RAIL magazine 20,006 (20,546)
Eye's man in the Dead Tree Media comments:
As all three titles recorded a roughly similar decline in circulation this suggests that readers are consolidating the number of titles they buy and that overall readership is subject to... ahem... ‘natural wastage’!
Evidently print media continues to hold its own.
UPDATE: This from Arnie the Anorak...
Of course RAIL is published every two weeks or 26 times a year, where as Railway Magazine is published 12 times a year and Steam 13 times a year.
If you then add up the total annual circulation for each publication... (that's enough gratuitous puffery for Dead Tree media. Ed).
