The LNER Encyclopedia

Just an update to let you know that I have added some new items to the list, Scottish Region (North of Scotland) for Summer and Winter 1953.
There is also something Eastern, a copy of the 1951 GE Section Herring Season Traffic Circular, which was kindly loaned to me for copying.

Order via my website, where you will also find that I have added some free downloads.

Next up, I'm working on some LMR items but I'm also tidying up a Winter '53 King's Cross A&D book which should be ready soon.

Just an update for you.

No new prints available but I have added quite a number of free to download items, no small number of which are of an Eastern flavour!

I am having a problem with the Winter 1953 King's Cross A&D book as my original is missing the rear page which held the late evening Sunday trains. I was kindly given a scan of the Summer '54 pages but there are significant differences so I can't base it on those pages.

Does anyone have a Winter '53 King's Cross A&D book and could copy me the rear inner and outer pages (p.31 & p.32)? If I can't find the information then I may just release it as a Weekday only print and omit the Sundays but that would be a real pity.

Thanks

Morning.

I've added some new items to the collection.
Three are LMR items (Manchester & Todmorden District)
Of interest to this board is the Winter 1953 Arrival & Departure book.
It has an immense amount of detail, including next working info of stock, and engine workings. Unfortunately, I was unable to source the necessary information to complete the missing Sunday pages so I have released it as a weekday only item.
If the Sunday details appear, I'll complete it and post it as a free download on the website (by the way, do take a look at the 'Freebie' area on the website as I keep adding little bits and bobs here and there, all for free download.)

Prices and sample pages are on the website (link below)

Sorry WTTR, if I have somehow missed it, but which location is this A & D book for?

Oops! I really should proof read what I type!
It's for King's Cross Steve.

Ah! In that case, well done !

Very interesting, order going in for the York district one, good to see the traffic flows down the Leeds Northern through Harrogate & Starbeck
Cheers

Good evening one and all and a Happy New Year to you.

It's been a while since I added anything to the collection, mainly because of full time work and the nine grandchildren that I enjoy winding up before sending them home to their parents !!!

That has now been remedied with four new items, though only two are of LNER interest. They are;
NER York Summary WTT, Summer 1949,
NER Wakefield District Engine & Crew diagrams, Winter 1958,
ScR Fog Working Arrival & Departure Book, Glasgow St. Enoch Station, Winter 1958 &
WR Section 1 WTT, Winter 1953 (London to Swindon / Banbury).

The York Summary WTT is nice. Because the NE placed York Services in three different WTTs, they produced a Summary covering just the area between Skelton & Chaloners Whin. More info and a PDF with some sample pages can be found on my website (link below).

Good evening.

I just thought you might like to know that I've added a new item of Eastern interest - a 1953 Peterboro' East Summary WTT.
I haven't seen one of these before; it covers all movements through Peterboro E to / from the LM and the GN.

Good morning!

I've added some new items to my collection of reprints.
Of interest to this august body is the North Eastern Section A (ECML) freight WTT. I have three of these for both summer and winter 1953, as well as summer 1954 and I decided to copy all three. This means that I now have a complete set of summer '53 NER WTTs.
I also picked up a King's Cross Suburban special traffic notice for Coronation Day, 1953 showing the revised suburban service for that holiday week.
There are also some items from the Western & Southern, if that is of interest to you.

Details are on my website (the link is below, with my signature)

Good morning.

I've just added something of Eastern interest - a set of Passenger Loco Workings for the Stratford District for Summer '54.
They are quite interesting and show the main line services on the Cambridge & Colchester lines, as well as the outer branch lines, together with the inner suburban workings.
There are also some items from other regions available, if these are of interest.
Full details (including sample pages in a PDF) are available on my website (link below)

Following on with another Eastern Region item, I have the Cambridge District passenger loco workings for Summer '54 that correspond with the Stratford item recently added. This is now available to order via my website (link below).

I do have a set of Norwich District workings for the same period to complete the set but these are in a bit of a state and it may not be possible to get a good copy from them. I'll post a note if I manage to produce these.

Good news; I managed to get all I needed to complete the Norwich District Workings and these are now ready to order, as well as a set of Norwich Passenger workings for the previous year, Summer '53.

This now means an entire set of GE Passenger Loco workings are available for Summer '54.

It's been a while since I did anything for the North Eastern Region so I have now added three new reprints to the collection;
Darlington Passenger Arrivals & Departures book, Summer 1950
York Passenger Arrivals & Departures book, Summer 1953
York District Freight Loco and Traincrew diagrams, Winter 1953
Also available, though not of LNER interest, is an LMR(M) Leeds District trip working book, Summer 1953.
The loco workings are of interest, covering freight duties out of the depots at York, Neville Hill, Starbeck, Selby, Scarboro', Malton, Pickering & Whitby, plus LMR & ER turns into the district.
They can be ordered via the website (where samples of the documents can be found), or you can PM for more info (I usually check the forum daily)

Morning everyone.

I've been busy adding something of 'Eastern Promise' for you!
I've added a number of new items but the ones of most LNER interest are sets of engine / crew diagrams as follows:
NER Newcastle Freight (Sect. 1), Winter '53
King's Cross Passenger (Main Line, Inner & Outer Suburban), Summer '53
Peterborough Passenger (New England, Spital & Stamford), Summer '53
Doncaster Passenger, Summer '53
Leeds, Summer '53 (these are the Copley Hill turns that run up to Doncaster & beyond, rather than the full Copley Hill diagrams)

There's also some LMR[C] diagrams, Isle of Wight diagrams and two Scottish WTTs if these are of interest.
Details are on the website (link below) as always, including PDFs with sample pages.
