Cathcart Circle Timetable 1961Here's an oldie pocket timetable from the past c.1961 pre Blue Train electric era.
I love the idea of 1st & 2nd class tickets being available in a 'I'm not sitting with those bloody bog trotter's' kind of way

Have any of these bloody trains arrived yet .... 
Nice post Fjord...
Love the part about expert adviser...
Also could not fail to notice there is only 2 trains to Eglinton Street a week and not even on the same day....
No wonder they closed it ....

This has been bugging me - would Eglinton Street not have been on a different line so how did trains stop there? The lines over the other side of the wall to the right of the station are the Cathcart Circle / Neilston / EK lines.

Yes they are, but there were platforms on those lines as well. You can see at the
bottom of the big wooden staircase a pedestrian tunnel leading to the lines on the
right.
