Replacement for National Fares Manual

[John @ home]

""The Manual" (replacing the current Retail and Fares Manuals) is due to launch on 12th August, but will only be available online through the Fares and Retail Publications Portal, not in printed form."

Presumably this is what Barry Doe was referring to in 'ATOC offers a fares Compact Disc' in the current issue of Rail. He says that it will be distributed by TSO and that:

"ATOC will shortly write to all those who used to buy fares manuals offering them the opportunity to subscribe to the CD. ... The price has yet to be fixed."

I wonder how much of the information in the old manuals it will contain.

Meanwhile, I notice that ATOC have restored NFM 98, which expired in May 2008, to their web site (minus the important sections B and C, as ever). This was removed on 18 or 19 May for several weeks.
