BEA Belfast timetable 1973
« on: February 04, 2013, 09:57:41 AM »
BEA InterBritain timetable for April - October 1973.  A few annotations and additions by my mum, who worked in "The Castle" at the time and handled much of the travel. 

1973 sounds so recent but is FOUR DECADES ago!  Yikes.

Tridents, Vanguards and Viscounts.  And Super 111s ( Series 500 ) to Manchester.

I notice that the Trident was booked for 1:05 hours to Heathrow versus the Vanguard at 1:15.  I know I'd have preferred the 'guard. much more civilised way to travel!

Second attempt: just putting links to the scans this time as they didn't attach first attempt, possibly too large for the forum at 1.1 MB each.

No problem!  If you enjoyed those you might also like the British Caledonian timetables for the same period.  MOONJET!

Unfortunately I lost my later 1980s timetables during a house move; all those splendid BA World Timetable books with every departure for every airport, gone forever....

Agreed, many thanks for sharing. Noticing that there's not a big difference in the fares from then to now..
