I know there are a few train enthusiasts on NSC, so I thought a post worthy.
Not so long ago I obtained a copy of the 1938 edition. As the country was not long away from war, it made fascinating reading.
I've written a piece about it, including a few of the train times (that would interestingly compare with nowadays) and some pictures too.

Bradshaws, although merely a listings directory, is a fascinating snapshot of the transient lifestyles of those at the time.
If anyone, living in locations of old disused stations, wanted to know some of their service times from that period, I'd be happy to look them up for you.
