LMS Restaurant Car Services ; January 1927 until further notice : London Midland & Scottish Railway, London, 1927 : cover

            An amazingly fine item of railway ephemera this - a small but beautifully produced booklet giving details and timetables of the LMSR's dining car facilities on their routes from London Euston and St. Pancras stations north and on services from the West Country to Scotland. It was produced and printed for them by the Manchester printers Charles Seyer Ltd and features die-cut covers that mimic a Restaurant Car's windows revealing the four diners being waited upon by the Car Attendant. 

All mainline railway companies at the time operated extensive catering services especially on long distance trains when, with 'slower' average journey times, dining on-board was standard practice for both First and Third Class passengers. The LMSR also inherited the old pre-Grouping Midland Railway's high standards as such facilities were heavily promoted on the longer, slower Anglo-Scottish services that ran via their Settle-Carlisle line onto GSWR metals at Carlisle.
