Early evening visit and there is a pleasant buzz of conversation in here. I sat admiring all the old tube train memorabilia and spotted for the first time the tube train upholstery on all the chairs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn - UK Cascade IPA | 5.00 | | Golden. Spicy hops on a good malt base. |

Comfortably busy, early on a Friday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Jack - Hop Harvest | 4.00 | | Golden-coloured and hoppy, but lacking the fresh taste I would usually associate with a ‘green hop’ beer. |
| Adnams - Explorer | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

Well-populated in the early evening, with a distinctly well-to-do sort of crowd. Throughout the hour I was here, the stereo was playing Neil Young – nobody seemed to be complaining.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Pale Champion Ale | 3.40 | | Retro, pale ale with a solid malt base and ‘dusty’ English hops. A little sweet. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Truman's Basking Shark | 3.70 | | I’m trying hard to like these Truman’s beers because it is great to see the name back on pumpclips and people say that the new brewery will be opening in east London soon – but the truth is I haven’t found one I like yet. This is golden and syrupy and buttery. |

A welcome, calm respite, five minutes’ walk from the madhouse that is Ridley Road Market.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meantime - London Pale Ale | 4.30 | | Amber-coloured beer with a mellow, fruity hop character. |
| London Fields - Landlord | 3.70 | | Nicely malty, brown, traditional bitter with a slightly spicey edge. |
| Castle Rock - Black Gold | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - American Style IPA | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Mild | 3.20 | Not Tried | |
| Buntingford - Royston Red | 4.80 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Dalston, Greater London, N16 8JT.
This pub was renovated and re-launched in 2011, and at the same time reverted to its proper name after a period as Old Henry's Freehouse. It is on St Jude Street and is absolutely not to be confused with another Railway Tavern just around the corner on Kingsland High Street. Potential confusion with two more Railway Taverns in Hackney is now avoided as both of those two have closed. Bare boards and wooden furniture; the decor now has a railway theme. Beer availability is indicated on an ‘Arrivals’ (i.e. in the cellar) and ‘Departures’ (i.e. available now) board.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 24 different beers and tried 7 of them.
