Exchange tickets were also issued when there was interavilability with rai tickets. someone may have got on a bus with a rail ticket. the conductor will have retained the rail ticket and issues the exchange ticket.

I use image software to manage the scans of timetable and other transport documents. Faststone is great. The batch processing options if fastsone image resizer are awesome. Microsoft Image Composite Editor(ICE) is great for sticking images together, Microsoft have discontinued supporting it...

On some OHLE structures sometimes there is a short bar that comes out of the supporting mast about the same height as the contact wire. They are about a foot long. They look like someone has drilled a hole in the mast and welded or bolted this bar to the mast. What are they for? Best guess is...

I am sure it was mentioned in a footnote in the all line timetable, but its not in the 78/79 one I have. Or maybe I have misremembered. It was in Baker with an asterisk by it, which meant unadvertised or excursion station.

Shiplwy - long Preston return then 2 singles for the other bit. Can't find a day ranger that fits.

Didn't 313s have 'waste heat recovery ' when new. I assumed rheostatic braking of some sort. But I don't really know.

Too bright lighting. Why?
