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?

Jimmy, The Zonal Time Tables, I believe, WERE always there.
The All India Time-table, seen in this photograph, more or less, is a mix of all the Zonal TTs.

I have with me 1956 SR Time-table.:-)

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.

I have the Nov. 1977 issue which I believe was the last one. Love those cheeky Elpar, Peerless etc. ads on the covers.
