    Caledonian Road Motorail Terminal

    The implication I'm getting from the 1967 timetable I have is that some of the car sleeper services from here were connected to the up sleeper trains departing from King's Cross. Was this the case and if so, how were they connected?

    Electrification in mainland Europe

    Is there a listing anywhere of when the major railway routes of Europe got their wires up? In particular, for my roleplay set in 1967, I'm interested in the Hook-Hannover-Berlin route.

    Kissing as a train pulls out

    So, I'm watching Outlander and there's a scene in which a lady is departing on a steam-hauled train, leaving her husband behind. The guard gives the right away while he's still standing there talking through the open droplight and then the two of them kiss through said droplight as the train is...

    Why is First Class so disappointing in many operators?

    1967 Eastern Region Timetable

    Acquired this from the second hand shop at the GCR; so not my writing on the cover. Original price 2 shillings! Includes all the suburban and long-distance trains in the ER, including the boat trains. The map is missing though. You can see the impact of the Beeching cuts; in a number of the...
