When was this timetable current? [DotD 25.4.2020]

[WSW Frome]

Table 124 -  around 1978 after the closure of the Bridport branch

Table 11 - Late 1960's say 1969

I think no2/Table 124 is a little later. I does not have Radipole Station, which closed in 1983. A guess - national timetable for 1985?

Table 124 The headings S and E refer to Sprinter and Express services.
Class 155's ran the Cardiff Portsmouths from May 1988 until mechanical problems with the doors led to their temporary replacement by Cl 156s. The 155s returned and worked until converted to 153s and 158s took over the Portsmouth line.

While there were a couple of Cl155 on the Weymouth line in 1988 they did not last long. generally services continued to be the duty of old DMUs^▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) until May 1989 when Class 150/2s took over, with some if the returned Cl 155s working from June 1989 along with the 150/2s.

Table 124 probably dates to Summer 1989 when the Cl 150s were introduced to the Weymouth line.

I still have my log books for this time!

I have been sorting out a few old timetables. Over the years there have been many different formats and series - can you put a year (and a publisher / series) on each of these ... thus lead to us putting them in chronological order?

Just select ONE each to identify please (I'll relax this request after 24 hours if we still have undated timetables).  Some may be quite tricky - in best Bruce Forsyth style, I'll come back with "lower" or "higher" "earlier" or "later".

6.

Assuming the 24-hour rule has expired, I’ll try number 6. The link from Liskeard to Coombe Junction was completed in May 1901, so it’s after then. But St Keyne station opened in September 1902 and it isn’t there. So it is between those dates.

It is Bradshaw, of course.

Have we got all of these yet, Graham?

Not sure ... I seem to have been getting busier rather that quieter!

Here are the front covers - I will paste in which is which as I get a chance.
