from 9.31 Preparing for Retirement
Retirement can act as a springboard for new opportunities, and many firms are introducing pre-retirement courses to prepare employees for their new way of life. But it can also bring problems: making the best of savings, pensions and investments, and it is not always easy to find out the kinds of benefits to which retired people are entitled. Some retired couples uproot and move to new homes in the countryside or on the coast. But does this always bring happiness? Put your questions to Bill Loving , Editor of Choice magazine for people approaching retirement, and Barbara Spears , Secretary of the Greater London Association for Pre-retirement.

By the 1860s railway travel was accepted by most people and almost 200 million journeys were made each year. The railway companies gave little in the way of clear, helpful information to those who were travelling by rail for the first time. This guidance had to come from other sources ... The Handybook was, in fact, a complete (and revealing) guide to railway etiquette.
