"The best train timetable is as exciting as the noblest poem". Discuss. That should be a question for a university philosophy paper.

Much of my business takes place on specialist auctions or ebay as robertatforsythe. You are welcome to discuss your own requirements by email and I will either upload lots to ebay or consider selling privately. I am an account holder with Pay Pal so you can pay for your purchases using your credit card and from outside the UK. It is possible to make up a pack on approval, so long as the customer will cover postage each way. If you wish us to search our duplicates for you, some guidelines are helpful. If you know exactly what you want, say so. Very often you will not know what you are missing. In that case try to give specific guidelines. The request 'any Sealink material' is very wide ranging and not very useful if you already have any quantity. More helpful would be to examine a particular route, so for instance list out what material you may have from the Isle of Wight services and then say 'I need anything between 1965-70, in 1971 I have item x, I have nothing from 1972, I do not need anything from 1973' and so on.
As a guideline our stock is British transport publicity since 1945. There are good supplies of British Railways material (pocket timetables, Sealink, Seaspeed, Railair, HST, Motorail, and BTH). Shipping companies like P&A Campbell, Liverpool & North Wales Steamship, Isle of Man Steam Packet, Caledonian Steam Packet, and other operators in UK waters, inland cruising; road operators like the urban Passenger Transport Executives, London Transport and many bus companies large and small are all well represented. The eras of railway preservation, bus deregulation and now railway privatisation are all stocked. So the Channel Tunnel, the shortlived InterCity East Coast image, all these and many more unappreciated treasures are waiting for the cognoscenti to hit his or her reply button.
Unless you use Pay Pal (hit the logo above), you will have to resort to snailmail for payment so our address is 16 Lime Grove, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 6PR, UK. Phone fax (+44) 01661 834511. All our prices are ex postage. Payment to be made in advance by cheque payable to R. N. Forsythe in Pounds Sterling. When emailing, we will need your snail mail address. If you cannot accurately gauge postage, leave the cheque open but endorse it 'not to exceed' an appropriate sum. We are always prepared to bargain over sales in quantity and to swop or even on occasion buy.
To whet the appetite two images below indicate the types of material available. The left hand one showing an LNER luggage label is from our own collection and spares are rarely to hand. The right one is typical of Eastern Region publicity common in the 1970s and for which a range is usually available. Note however that a segment of this route from Spalding to March is now defunct.

The links below will take you to a series of pages constructed by using the scans made for ebay lots. All this material has passed through our hands. Almost all will have reference examples in the main collection. A good amount will be in stock for sale so if something appeals ask me to upload. The items are not captioned but should be self explanatory.
