Step inside the world of timetables - the essential, intricate documents that mapped Britain’s transport revolution. From tide tables and coach lists to the dense, mesmerising railway charts of the Victorian era, this book charts the rise of a specialised medium that guided travellers and defined networks. Rich in anecdotes, design quirks and historical depth, it’s an irresistible read for anyone who loves railways, transport ephemera or the hidden systems behind great journeys.

Conrad Smith’s fascination with numbers and railways has shaped both his professional and personal lives. A mathematician by training and a train enthusiast from boyhood on Tyneside, he draws on a deep understanding of how numbers work to offer a richly informed, warmly human account of railway timekeeping.

Superbly illustrated throughout with scanned covers, timetable extracts and colour and black & white photographs. Hardback. 368 pages.
