They have this impressive collection of old railway timetables and promotional leaflets, all on display here as if they were current.
I rarely visit Chicago Union Station. One of the many great features of CUS is the fact that they have a complete supply of Metra timetables...well, scratch that on this particular shot, as the empty slot in the top row is missing the UP North Line (Kenosha to Ogilvie Transportation Center)timetables. Also available here are timetables for the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District's South Shore Line which has its western terminus in the Loop at Millennium Station (aka Randolph Street Station).
This is from the N&W Decatur Division Timetable no. 73, dated Sunday, April 24, 1966. This timetable has the line from Peru, IN, to Decatur, IL. The line from Chicago to Bement and the branch from Forrest to Streator and the branch from Bement to Sullivan, all in Illinois. The line from Decatur to St. Louis. The line from Frankfort IN to St Louis. The line from Altamont, IN (near Lafayette, IN) to Peoria. And the Champaign Branch from Sidney to Champaign.
It was still only two years since the absorption of the Nickel Plate and the Wabash that the Special instructions still had references to the NKP and WAB rules.
1961 Tyne valley timetable , virtually mint condition. Given to me by a senior driver (who was based at Hexham in the 60's) on his retirement day in the late 80's.
Lovely graphic design on early Victoria Line timetables (even if they don't use Johnston, tut).
The entire "cut travel time" concept of the scissors works really well, and the roundel as the pivot. is genius (even though it took me a while to notice).
I like the plainer, later timetable design almost as much, though. Wonderfully clean.
"Remains will not be handled on Streamlined trains unless advance arrangements have been made." Did anybody ever ship remains WITHOUT making advance arrangements?
These have a new format. No longer East, Central and West, they are labelled B, D, K and T (Bristol, Devon, Cornwall and Thames Valley, it seems; K for Cornwall (Kernow)). The complete set appears here. Base colour is GWR green, 'light' GWR green for route diagram and grey stripe at the top.

Back in 2015 I made a timetable for route 203, and that was that for timetables as far as I was concerned. Until now.
Since then, I've drawn numerous revised route maps and the nature of the fleet/company has changed slightly. Way back, the 203 was extended further into Bramcote and now it has had another revamp which sees it work better alongside the 204 and operate as far as Beeston.
With all the various updates that have taken place, I thought it was high time to update the timetable since I'd ignored it for so long and just assumed that updated editions existed without bothering to make them or even think about them.
My original plan was to pick one of the other routes this time, but then I thought it would be easier to directly compare the two if they were both for the 203. So, if you will, assume that all the RB timetables are a variation on this theme - maybe I'll even go as far as to make them as well, who knows?
Although I have worked out the bus times, not only for the 203 but the whole quota of routes (from the perspective of the vehicle's line card, rather than the timetable at the bus stop or leaflet) I've left them out because a) Working out all the times for the intermediate stops would be a pain and b) the phrase "I read it in the newspaper so it must be true" can sometimes be applied to the internet as well, so I don't want people to actually think a little green bus is going to show up and follow the timetable!
The oooooold one (!) :
