Whilst sorting out some BR Passenger Timetables for a fellow forum member , i came across these two issues for 1994/95 , different two tone covers and clearly stating Not For Sale - Staff Only issues .
Did they do Staff Only issues for other years , as i have never seen any ??
Just checking through and i now have spare copies of every issue 1980/81 through to last Network issue , many complete with Maps and in some cases the Bookmarks.
Also some regional issues from the 1980s
Just found a big handful of London and Network South East Maps
I will see what years and dates i can unearth to try and help fill any gaps
