The CRC meets at St.Paul’s Church Centre, Rossmore Road, Marylebone, London NW1 6NJ. This is an attractive hall which offers a comfortable environment for our meetings. It is a short walk north from Marylebone station on the west side of the line. Rossmore Road crosses over the railway at the station throat. Bus routes 139 from Waterloo to West Hampstead and 189 from Brent Cross to Oxford Circus pass the door. It is outside the congestion charge zone and parking is free after 18.30 on both single yellow lines and meters. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month from September through to July with an August break.
Meetings start at 18.30 with doors open from 18.00. With a short interval they usually finish by 21.00. Light refreshments are available and there is always a large selection of pre-owned foreign railway books for sale at attractive prices. There is a small admission charge and season tickets are also available offering further savings.
