BRITISH RAIL TOURS
Pictures in this gallery are of tickets for enthusiast rail tours of various sorts, including photographs, programmes, brochures and flyers where I have them. I have attempted to differentiate them into enthusiast specials and trains that were mere excursions of interest to the general public as well, probably not entirely successfully! These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
