Hello Traintracks
Will the timetable book be in the fiction, thriller or comedy sections?

PMSL...

In reality I think three publishers contacted ATOC about publishing a copy of the NRSTT (National Rail Spring TimeTable), as ATOC don't want to do it.

Interesting, but this isn't really my thread. It's best to start one of your own.

They were great, weren't they? - full of fascinating facts, wonderful line drawings and, at 6d each, a bargain. By coincidence, a colleague of mine brought his in to work a couple of weeks ago. He had just got hold of a copy of I-Spy Hospitals, which I gather is as rare as hen's teeth, and now had the complete set. The Railways edition was my first, though I did manage to get several other feathers for my head-dress over the years. Shrewd move by my parents, 'cos it kept me quiet on many a long journey!
