    An 1885 Cover

    Murray’s ABC Timetable, perhaps more often referred to as "Murray's Diary", was first published in 1842 and, that ancient stand-by of the travelling public, continued
    continuously in print until 1966, it's selling price of just one penny remaining unchanged until after World War 2 and, having been increased to sixpence by the mid-1950's, its
    final editions were sold at one shilling each.

    Though the cover of the edition here, for August 1st - September 4th, 1966, almost certaily one of the final editions, has not survived, it was a small purple pocket book,
    published monthly, to provide the time tables for all trains in Scotland. In addition to times and fares for trains, it listed sailing schedules for the Clyde Steamers, together with
    a pocket calendar, times of sun and moon rises and sets, tide tables and a comprehesive list of local holidays across Scotland for the month of issue. As a bonus, each 'diary'
    contained an insurance certificate which stated that, if the purchaser, aged between 15 and 65, had signed it and, carrying the current edition with them, was killed in a railway
    accident then, the “General Accident Fire and Life Assurance Corporation Limited” would pay their 'legal representativ' a sum, in 1966, of £600.

    The demise of 'the diary', which latterly too carried timetables for Scotlands air services, was lamented by many as 'a sign of the times'. The survival of this edition, adorned
    with advertisements, gives us an insight into "how we were", some might even say better served then than now.

    Welcome to the '60's, to the hybrid world of steam, diesel and electric trains, to the world of Clyde steamers, when steam remained dominant despite the advent of the
    "Maids" and the car ferries and welcome to the 'jumbo-less' skies of Scotland, the realm of Viscounts and Comets.
