The problem is, probably, at least partly due to it being published by a relatively small company which doesn't yet have the distribution deals that the likes of IMAP have. In fact i seem to recall Shazana mentioning as much when I met her a couple of years back.
I'm sure that they would love to have the magazine in every shop.
Perhaps once Waterways World gets it's website up and running properly, as the new editor is planning, they can go on to get a web presence for TOR.

Did you know in order to get a magazine onto the shelves of WH Smiths, you need to bung them a significant one-off quantity of cash (seriously), then demonstrate you can hit the sales figures, only to have your title on sale or return anyway.
If this is one of the big retailers, you can bet that others are equally 'detrimental' to the smaller magazines (and knowing people who are launching a mag currently, it's not an uncommon practice). This is per title as well, not per publishing house!
TOR is still a small circulation mag, but how do you get out in the public arena without paying off all the big retailers / suppliers? I don't know the answer, but a good web presence and word-of-mouth are likely to be a good start.
Cheers
