Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

This dataset is part of a study which tried to figure out how and why trains got faster during the last 100 years by comparing 48 train routes in 1910, 1923, 1930, 1939, 1946, 1951, 1961, 1976, 1987, 1995, 2000 and 2008. The data in this dataset was transcribed from Bradshaws, ABC and BR railway timetables.
