_Explanation_.—To find the fare and distance from one station to
another—say Stafford to Wolverhampton. Find Stafford in the first
column, carry your eye along the column opposite to which it is placed
until you arrive at Wolverhampton placed in the slanting column, and
there the fare and distance will be found.
*** The figures at the top of each square denote the distance, those on
the left hand the fare by the _first_ class carriages, (_whether in first
class or mixed class trains_) and those on the right hand the fare by the
_second_ class carriages.
[_Entered at Stationer’s Hall_.]
* The Fares from Stations above Hartford, to Stations on the Manchester
and Liverpool Line, are the same as to Manchester and Liverpool. But the
Fares from Hartford, Acton, Preston Brook, Moore, and Warrington, to the
Stations on the Manchester and Liverpool Line, are in proportion to the
distance.
The Fare from Birmingham to any Station on the Liverpool and Manchester
Line is in proportion.
N.B.—The Mixed Trains also take up and set down Passengers _to or from
any part of the Grand Junction Railway_, at all the usual Stopping Places
on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.—An allowance is _included_ in
the above Tables of five minutes for _all_ the Trains at the _principal_
Stations, and of three minutes for _the Mixed Trains_, at the
intermediate stopping places.—No Fare is less than One Shilling by the
principal Trains.—The Fare between the intermediate Stopping Places is at
the rate of about 2½d. per mile for First, and 1½d. for Second Class
Passengers. Tables of which are kept at each of the Stations.
Parties arriving at Birmingham by the early Trains, can go on in the same
carriage to the London and Birmingham Railway Station, and so proceed by
the London Train.
