This is the daunting and slightly terrifying revision timetable we are planning to adhere to over the next 6 weeks.
Pray for us, we need it!
'The Clock' was a long running publication detailing Helensburgh area timetables for bus, train and steamer services which was published by the local compnay of Macneur & Bryden. This example from June 1953 is the earliest example I have acquired and details the bus services of Garelochhead Coach Services Ltd, Central SMT and the Glasgow to Oban service of Alexander's. It also contains an advert for Cameron's Motor Tours, another Helensburgh operator who operated 'Daily Tours by Luxury Coaches to the Scottish Highlands'. Cameron's would be acquired by CGS in 1955. Of note is the Helensburgh local service of Alexander Ironside was not included, this would pass to GCS in the early part of 1954.
Ah ha.. the forbearer of today's hyper-growing Turkish Airlines! It was during this timetable time line their sole two year old DC-10 TC-JAV crashed outside of Paris on March 3 1974 and killed 346 people on board. Still one of the worse airline disasters on record. The cargo door opened in flight causing an explosive decompression that brought the plane down. The plane is featured on the cover of this timetable.
A schedule or a timetable is a basic time management tool consisting of a list of times at which possible tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or a sequence of events in the chronological order in which such things are intended to take place. The process of creating a schedule - deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks - is called scheduling, and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler. Making and following schedules is a fundamental human activity, and learning to do these things effectively is one of the most basic life skills. There are a wide variety of situations in which schedules are necessary, or at least useful.
Schedules are useful for both short periods, such as a daily or weekly schedule, and for long term planning with respect to periods of several months or years. They are often made using a calendar, where the person making the schedule can note the dates and times at which various events are planned to occur. Schedules that do not set forth specific times for events to occur may instead list an expected order in which events either can or must take place
Amtrak marks its 45th anniversary on May 1, 2016, and in recognition of that I present a comparison of the company's first system timetable and the current timetable, which Amtrak has said will be the last one that it plans to print.

Another historic National Express service, another terrible National Express service. Silverlink ran until 2007 as two separate services: County and Metro.

A page from a Feb 1953 NCT timetable showing service 16 to Kingsthorpe..a 10 minute service most of Saturday and odd times weekdays..the same applies for several other services in an era when there were few private cars.
Front cover of the winter 1975 /76 Alitalia timetable. These were always a bit 'special' because of their larger size. Perhaps also the beautiful Alitalia girl in their Dublin office in the 1970's!!!
I always had a genuine interest in collecting airline timetables, but my school mates were known to pay the Alitalia office in Dawson Street a visit too!
