New RTM app allows you to read the magazine for free
RTM is proud to launch its new app, available for Apple and Android devices, that gives you access to the magazine for free.
You can find it in the Apple App Store or Google Play by searching ‘RTM Magazine’.
The app lets you download and read the complete magazine on the go, on your smartphone or tablet.
Currently, you can download the April/May 2015 edition, the February/March 2015 edition, and our special Railtex 2015 supplement. We will be gradually uploading the RTM archive of past editions to the app.
Highlights of the current edition (April/May 2015) include:
