Sheffield Traffic Survey 11th August 1960

Description

This report summarises the fruits of the labours of some twenty persons, principally from the Sheffield Branch of the Society who took part, on August 11th, 1962, in a Traffic Survey covering the principal lines of the former L.M.S. railway in the Sheffield areas Due to the coincidence of holiday breaks in Sheffield, and other large neighbouring towns, e.g Derby and Leicester, the passenger traffic density on this particular day was extremely high.

The comprehensive Midland Traffic Survey of 1954 took place on the corresponding Saturday in August and interesting comparisons over the limited area covered by both surveys are no doubt possible.
