| Once a decent venue now a grim dive. Has recently had a ridiculous noise limit imposed (110 decibels) I turned up with my band to play and our drummer alone was 120. Thing is, standing right outside the pub you can barely hear bands at all. This place is not going to last long. Miserable staff, overpriced beer, they are digging their own grave. Boycott. axisundone - 12 Apr 2008 21:38 |
| I don't go in here a lot, but always have a good night when I do venture in to see a band. Thankfully the smoke issue is no longer a problem, but it does get very hot in here in the summer. knocknock - 23 Jan 2008 20:23 |
| The Railway has had a lick of paint and looks much smarter inside. I have always found the Adnams to be good so the previous reviewer may just have been unlucky. I have heard tales of bands being sent packing by the landlord but I don't know the background to this so won't comment further. The main problem with this pub is that it just gets too smoke filled. It has air conditioning but I have never known it to be turned on. legba - 4 Dec 2006 17:51 |
| If you like a horrible pint served in a dirty glass by the most miserable barmaid in the history of most miserable barmaids where the regulars go out their way to throw evil looks at you and make you feel really unwelcome, then this is the place for you. Meat3000 - 3 Oct 2006 12:08 |
| What ever has happened to the railway? Once upon a time in the distant past it was a pub that invited and positively made welcome people that ride motorcycles and love rock music. Bring back the days when it hosted the bike shows once a year( which raised money for local charites) and you could pop down on a friday or saturday and be confident you will meet up with friends with similar taste and rock the night away. Nowadays you can't be sure the band will be made wellcome enough by the management, to stay and play. What's is the future of the railway? its seems rather blue! pipa - 30 Aug 2006 20:31 |
