About this product

Product Information

In 1838 Thomas Edmondson, an employee of the fledgling Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, revolutionised the ticket issuing process in Britain and left an enduring legacy: the Edmondson ticket. Purchased as proof of the contract between passenger and railway company, the ticket was a receipt, travel pass and an ephemeral record of almost every train journey ever taken in the British Isles, reflecting the nostalgia of the railways and a period of history when the movement of millions of people brought together England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The railways printed millions of tickets for every conceivable journey and category of passenger. Most were destroyed after use, but remarkably many survive, in the care of libraries, museums and collectors, and form the basis of a fascinating hobby.

WOW! FREE shipping & arrived from IRELAND IN 6 Days! That’s a PERFECT 5*****STAR Seller! This rarer book was in good condition-better than even described. Communication w shipping was constant. Book was safely packaged. I’m still amazed-sending this book from Across the pond in 6 Days, w US customs using up extra time, as well. (I can’t even mail a card-from FL to NYC in 6 days & that’s w first class postage & w/o US custom’s to add a delay) MANY THANKS TO AN HONEST, Caring & Exemplary Store!!!

  • Disappointed had expected more in depth articles

    Hi, The book as well written and interesting. However I had expected to read more about the tickets in depth. This book was a basic history of the railway ticket. I thought it might have gone into the rarity of them with examples. Some of the lines closed before Beeching and there ticket history would have been good.

  • I would recomend it to anyone starting to collect railway tickets

    Very useful and informative book. Explains some of the pitfalls to look out for when buying old railway tickets. Useful lists of Societies and magazines dealing with ticket collecting. Also details of postal and online sales and auctions.
