Assuming WTT's haven't always been a softcover book handed out individually to each LU driver, how old is the earliest known WTT. Is there one dating back to Brill days?
WTT's of particular interest to me would be
A pre-1979 Bakerloo and a pre-1932 District but I bet I'll never find those on eBay

Assuming WTT's haven't always been a softcover book handed out individually to each LU driver, how old is the earliest known WTT. I have read something from 1875 for the District - I have also seen 'something else' dated 1870. They are just timetables (ie Working? Public?) The oldest one called 'Working' that I can physically lay my hands on (if AI wasn't asleep  ) is 1906. If you want to know when the first timetable was published under the title of 'Working', that is a bit of a grey area - I suggest the first published timetable called 'working' that survives is from the 1880s for the ELL. I may be wrong in this respect, so don't take this as absolute. Is there one dating back to Brill days? Yes - I have at least an Easter 1934 working notice in my poorly-catalogued and prone to the database-of-much-confusion collection (I remember reading it when holed up in a pub when stuck in a very snowy Welshpool: probably the Royal Oak)  WTT's of particular interest to me would be A pre-1979 Bakerloo and a pre-1932 District but I bet I'll never find those on eBay That's where I got all of mine. Next time I go back over the Dyke, I will have a look at the Bakerloo duplicates - I'm sure I can find something with Watfords and Stanmores within. I know I haven't got a duplicate 'Metropolitan District Railway' WTT. Sorry about that. |
