| Hooray! The Railway is under new management and is back to its best! Everything, from the atmosphere to the cleanliness to the beer, is top notch again. I used to drink here (and do the occasional shift), but I wrote the pub off after the previous manager took over. The place was filthy, the lines were rarely - if ever - cleaned, and landlord was more interested in making a quick buck than protecting the interests of the staff and the regulars. I hope word gets around that the place is under new management, and that everyone who was exiled from the Railway during this era soon returns. If you wish to steer clear of Steve Smith, the previous landlord (as referred to in the posts from 15th April 2009 and 10th Feb 2009), then I advise you to avoid The Griffin - his new pub - on Didsbury Road. It's amazing how some people tend to fail upwards. Hornfinger - 11 Dec 2009 18:32 |
| Used to be a fantastic pub, but concur with view expressed by last poster. The new landlord has dramatically reduced the quality of the pub. I was once a regular, last time I visited the new guy was rude and aggressive and looks like he is spoiling a decent locals pub. Howellsey - 15 Apr 2009 19:22 |
| The Railway is ok but even though it's a nice enough pub it's far too small and because of this it's always packed. I'd probably go more often if it was a bit bigger. reallifeperson - 3 May 2008 12:38 |
| Used to go regularly but got fed up with the landlord's over zealous kicking out tactics. Beer was normally pretty good tho. Blumer - 26 Apr 2008 19:09 |
| I really like this pub. The staff are friendly and efficient, and there are always enough of them behind the bar to provide you with unusually fast service. I find this pub as close to traditional as you can get, and I grew up in Wensleydale. I'm a bitter drinker, and the bitter is very well kept, far better than any other Holt's pub I've been in to, and at £1.85 a pint you really cannot complain. The pub is always clean and tidy, and I have never experienced unclean toilets in there. Keep up the good work! Richy_Rich - 12 Jul 2007 00:38 |
