Since it was first published in 2007, The Southern Way has become the definitive journal on the history and heritage of the Southern Railway and the Southern Region of British Railways. The first two of the four issues scheduled for 2025, numbers 68 and 69, will be released in January and May. Two more issues and a Southern Way Special are due in the second half of the year.

Each volume contains a mixture of articles and photo features on various aspects of the SR including rolling stock, infrastructure, operations and personalities. The Southern Way remains essential reading for all who interested in the SR and those modelling it.

As this catalogue went to press not all the content had been finalised but among articles confirmed for inclusion are a survey of Southern stations in East Dorset, Wiltshire, West Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and a feature on the Guildford-Cranleigh-Christ's Hospital branch.
