Paytrain Guide 1973

Paytrain Guide (timetable) for 1973, covering the route between Cleethorpes, Gainsborough Central, Retford and Sheffield. Paytrains were DMU-served passenger trains were you paid a guard on the train. This in turn meant no station staff or maintenance, and the decline and demolition of stations like Brigg, Gainsborough Central and Darnall.

This route was the old MS&LR (later GCR) route, opened in the late 1840s
