Re: Old Timetable
WE have a card system on transport, the tap on tap off kind.
But of little use we hear.
Very few ever bother as when they do it costs money.
School kids up to 18 will now get free bus transport going to school.
Again little use as they do not tap on or off now.
The system is like the proverbial on a bull, not worth a cracker


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Old Timetable
Long gone this was the Liverpool overhead railway which I believe ran the length of the docks road.
It was known by locals as the Dockers umbrella. I wonder was the New York overhead railway designed on this?
Anyone on site ever travel it when joining a ship in Liverpool?
The railway closed at the end of 1956, and despite public protests, the structures were dismantled in the following year.
