A pocket timetable for Rozwadów station and Stalowa Wola passenger stop issued in 1998. Arrivals/Departures only. Today one single card would be sufficient...
The Summer issue of CIÉ's Provincial Bus Timetables for 1972 . The cover graphics are bold and eye-catching.
Railroad companies like the Illinois Central, Louisville and Nashville, and others often placed ads like this example from March, 1926 in local St. Petersburg newspapers. They featured illustrations of carefree and luxurious railroad trips for those making connections in Jacksonville to places north.
one of the first timetables after the arrival of the new identity, giving us the graphic rules pure and simple.
Newcastles historic timetable board is near the end of its life at the station, yet still is the main board used for timetable information here as 3237 simmers away in Platform 1 after bringing in the last Singleton Flyer
Timetables from Middlesbrough Corporation. The 1967 issue would be the last before Teesside Municipal Transport took over.
In the last couple of years or so, Surrey CC have gone for stop specific timetables, which is fair enough as it's the way things are going industry-wide.
Personally, I'm not a fan - as stop specific gives less information, and I can read a bus timetable.
New timetables are now up ready for the SCC Bus Review changes to the 34 and 35 from 30th August 2015. Here's the Camberley-bound stop at Woking station.
Two questions arise: how do you know it goes via Hermitage Estate on Sundays (indeed the route bar at the top says 'Knaphill Surrey Hermitage' (=Hermitage, The Surrey) so specifically says that Sunday buses go that way when they don't)?
Secondly, why isn't it combined with the 35 times on one sheet?!
Also, the 134 is missing so it only shows the 1550 departure as a 34 on non-schooldays only.
A general issue with stop specific timetables is that they only give an approximate journey time, for example the 34 to Camberley here is shown as 55 minutes to reach the destination. But, on long routes, there can be significant variance. For example, a quick look at the timetable shows one journey timed to do it in 40 minutes!

Would you believe I have stashed away these 1970s-vintage airline timetables for posterity?
Weird, I know. But printed material of this nature - anything at all, really - is fast disappearing. You may not recognise it yourself but paper as an office "staple" has been on the slide for at least 30 years. With every passing year more paper invoices, receipts, tickets, timetables, instructions, labels and "forms" are replaced by an online equivalent. Once gone they won't return. Not that I'm a Luddite, far from it. I just like to document some of the simplest, perhaps least important details of our human civilised history as it passes....
