Working Timetable Section CB 17th May 1993 to 3rd October 1993
(Passenger,Parcels,Freight and Departmental)
About this timetable
One of the most comprehensive WTT's in our collection is this CB Timetable from the summer of 1993. It includes the whole WCML,so fill yer boots!
You'll find this timetable is fantastic for creating Intercity WCML express scenarios,hauled in 1993 by a variety of 86s,87s and 90's,there were also HST's working out from Euston to exotic locations such as Bangor! This epic WTT also includes freight and departmental services meaning you can make a wide variety of scenarios. Remember that it won't include short local trip workings or stuff like ad-hoc MGR's and specially timed services.
Sadly it lacks Bakerloo/DC line services,though as these don't really interact with WCML services you can get away with using the modern timetables for that bit,just use 313's instead of 378's!
