Fishguard to paddington 1964
 

Hello

I am new to the forum. I am urgently trying to find out the times of trains from Fishguard to Paddington in the mid 60s. Might the timetables still exist? perhaps one of you has one.

The particular train I am interested in ran on an Easter Monday in April 1964 so would have had a Sunday-type timetable, I am presuming.

It was the train that my Mum and Dad met on, and I am making a neon art work for their 45th wedding anniversary. I would like it to say the time and destination of the train!

Best wishes and thankyou in advance

Laura

Just click onto any of the 5 threads that you started. and you will be able to read any replys. When you open the site, you will see if there are any replys. So far there are two of your threads that have info on them, but not what you want yet. You will soon get used to the system. Good luck and keep us informed.

It's a long-shot, but these people sell old GWR timetables, you might just hit lucky and get the one you want:

Hi Laura and welcome to the forum. I hope you find what you are looking for and hope the event is a good one.

Thank you so much.
I am kicking myself as my mum has (unwittingly) caused me 9 hours of lost research on this today, by saying the train originated in Fishguard. Now she says it originated in Neath, so I presume Swansea at the very beginning of the journey. !
I willl have to post all this info again now and hope someone comes up with something. Thanks for replying!
i will also look at your links
Best

Neville Bridger was very helpful and has put me in touch with researcher Chris Turner. I await his reply. Thanks again
