The ''Official Handbook of Stations'' was a large book (13"x8", 494 pages) listing all the passenger and goods stations, as well as private sidings, on the railways of Great Britain and Ireland. It was published in 1956 by the British Transport Commission (under the Railway Clearing House name) and provides an historical snapshot of the railways of the time. Each station or depot was shown against its county, railway region (including its pre-grouping company), and parent station. If the station had a crane then its weight limit was also shown in tons & cwt. In six columns the classes of traffic handled at the station was shown as follows: Column 1 - G = Goods Traffic Column 1 - G * = Coal Class, Mineral and Station-to-Station Traffic in Truck Loads. Column 2 - P = Passenger, Parcels & Miscellaneous Traffic. Column 2 - P * = Passenger, but ''not'' Parcels & Miscellaneous Traffic. Column 2 - P† = Parcels & Miscellaneous Traffic (i.e. ''not'' Passengers). Column 3 - F = Furniture Vans, Carriages, Motor Cars, Portable Engines and Machines on Wheels. Column 4 - L = Livestock Column 5 - H = Horse Boxes and Prize Cattle Vans. Column 6 - C = Carriages and Motor Cars by Passenger or Parcels Train. 〔''Official Handbook of Stations,'' British Transport Commission, 1956〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Official Handbook of Stations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
