I do know that the first issue of "Trains at a Glance" came in the latter half of 1977. So the All India TT and TAAG coexisted for a while? Posted by Ajai Banerji on 2009 Oct 12 12:29:27 +0000 |

Jimmy, The Zonal Time Tables, I believe, WERE always there. Posted by V. Srinavasa Prasad on 2009 Oct 12 10:38:37 +0000 |

Jitendra, Zonal timetables have always been published - the earliest I have seen is 1899 issue of BBCIR though I am sure they must be published before this time as well. The All India complete Railway Time Table was published by Indian Railway for a limited time only, perhaps to get a piece of the sales of the Bradshaw but I am only guessing this. It must have been a Herculean task for the Railway Board to collect and compile this information from various zones and publish in time. I have seen zonal timetables with a ten page errata!

I agree with Harsh. I think the George Fernandes as RM in 1977 was responsible for the Hajipurization of the timetable. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Oct 12 05:17:24 +0000 |

I have the Nov. 1977 issue which I believe was the last one. Love those cheeky Elpar, Peerless etc. ads on the covers. Posted by Harsh Vardhan on 2009 Oct 12 04:57:07 +0000 |
