    Trivial:- Calais and Boulogne Maritime stations

    In 1974 I travelled through from Calais Maritime to Roma Termini on the Roma Express. I remember walking on the Platform at Chambery with my mother, in the middle of the night, looking at the stars on a cold crisp and crystal clear night. Happy memories.

    Timetable demo for timetableworld.com

    I have just tried this specimen and found it easy to use. The pages are very clear and I do hope that you can scan more timetable books. May I suggest a late 1950's Scottish Region timetable, please.

    Glasgow flexi-ticket to use across different bus companies

    Glasgow flexi-ticket to use across different bus companies

    When the ticket is loaded onto the smartcard, you get a paper receipt. I loaded 3 tickets on to my smartcard and got 3 paper printed receipts. Thomas
