Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.
I have been buying the Middleton Press printed UK rail timetable for years now but they`ve stopped doing it now. They just do a Great Britain section of the European timetable instead. This is of some value but not really suitable for when one is off "rail rovering", for instance, if you`re in York and thinking of going to Doncaster and you quickly need to see all the services from there to Sheffield (whilst trying to decide whether to catch that train in Platform 5.....) you haven`t got time to thumb through 2 or 3 skeleton timetables ! Furthermore the the GB extract doesn`t actually cover all the services anyway. Does anyone know if a printed copy of the UK timetable is still available ? I need one because I really don`t want a smart phone (I want to be able to get away from the internet ! ) and in any case, even when journey planning at home (with access to a PC) there are some itineraries that it`s easier to do with the printed timetable in front of you.
