BRADSHAW'S

7th March - 3rd April 1955

Cost 7/6 (37 1/2p )

While researching some information for another thread I got my 1955 Bradshaw's out .

While looking for the answer I found the following, that may be of intrest

FARES

In the front

An example is given of how fares are the same despite different route taken , fortunatley for us, the example given is:

Single Return

St Pancras to Sheffield – 159 miles 34 /- 11 1st 69/- 10d 1st

Kings Cross – Sheffield – 162 miles 23/- 3 3rd 46/- 6d 3rd

Marylebone to sheffield - 164 miles

1/- is equivulant to 5p

DISTANCES BETWEEN STATIONS

A section gives details of disatances between stations where there is more than one

Sheffield Midland & Victoria - about ¾ mile

Chestefield Midland & Cenral – about a mile

Rotherham central and Masboro – about ½ mile

Chapel En Le Frith south and central - over a mile

The non london stations are noted as Provincial Towns

( I have a copy of the 1948 loco shed directory which when I find ill look through that)
