Sharing a couple of old Bakerloo Special Timetable Notices

[cdp75]

Hi guys,

Long time lurking, first time poster. A friend at work lent me a couple of Special Timetable Notices which I have scanned as PDF's and put in to my dropbox


www.dropbox.com/sh/10w9qzfloutfvrv/AACoWv3K-cFI8Ivri5nYprV-a?dl=0


First is "August Train Arrangements for Saturday 2nd August 1958

and Second is "Special Service of Full Length Trains Mondays-Fridays commencing 28 November 1960"

Please feel free to download.

I would enjoy your comments/observations.

Thanks

Colin

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting, mostly due to the fact that the former dates from the very day I sprung into this world!

It seems that in those, ahem, 56 years, the format of working timetables has changed very little. Still, I suppose as they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Except for use of the 12 hour clock (with "Morning" and "Afternoon" pages) and spaces instead of "superfluous" zeroes in the timings e.g. 0706 used to appear as 7 6 on the morning pages, and 2200 would have been 10 0 on the afternoon pages. Rather clumsy to modern eyes I think.
