INTRODUCTION:
The Summer Great Britain Timetable is dated from 8th July 1991 when the previous one finished 12th May 1991.....what happened to the missing month? Thanks to Steve Carter for letting me know the Winter timetable was extended a month to coincide with the completion of the East Coast Mainline electrification scheme.
Still three trains a day via Kensington Olympia.
Little change to the Brighton services on weekdays with the Summer Saturday services running to and from Eastbourne once again. The Eastbourne to Manchester service continues to run via the West Coast Mainline but the Milton Keynes stop is now only southbound.
The Sunday service to and from Derby lasted just the one year. Sundays will now see what will later become the norm. Just the one train runs to and from Brighton through to Glasgow Central but is routed via Manchester Piccadilly and Bolton.
The Kent train continued to run to and from Liverpool Lime Street but was retimed once again and now also runs to Dover Western Docks. The train is routed via Chatham in both directions and has the same timings on a Saturday. No Sunday service.
As an aside there were in addition to the cross country services there were just five services each way in the morning between Clapham Junction and Kensington Olympia with six in the afternoon.
