Two examples of the several hundred timetables (public and working) in the Trust's collection at the Study Centre.
The Settle & Carlisle Line
Many years ago, Roy acquired the two Tyers No 6 instruments from Garsdale and Hawes, together with a fibre tablet for that section, which were passed to the Trust in 2000. These are not Midland Railway items, because the Tyers No 6 system was not installed between Hawes and Garsdale until the North Eastern Region of British Railways took over responsibility for the line in the 1950s. These have now been restored to working order and will shortly be displayed in the Visitor Centre at Ribblehead in association with the Settle & Carlisle Railway Trust. Examples of various types of Midland Railway cast iron mileposts will also be put on display in the Visitor Centre.
Meanwhile, in the restored station at Kirkby Stephen, our small exhibition of items is located in the meeting room there - known as the Midland Railway room.
