Regulations of the Grand Junction and Liverpool and Manchester Railway Companies
Regulations of the Grand Junction Railway Company
Time of departure.—The doors of the Booking Office are closed precisely at the time appointed for starting, after which no passenger can be admitted.
Booking.—There are no Booking Places, except at the Company’s Offices at the respective Stations. Each Booking Ticket for the First Class Trains is numbered to correspond with the seat taken. The places by the mixed Trains are not numbered.
Luggage.—Each Passenger’s Luggage will, as far as practicable, be placed on the roof of the coach in which he has taken his place; carpet bags and small luggage may be placed underneath the seat opposite to that which the owner occupies. No charge for bona fide luggage belonging to the passenger under 100lb. weight; above that weight, a charge is made at the rate of 1d. per lb. for the whole distance. No kind of merchandise allowed to be taken as luggage. The attention of travellers is requested to the legal notice exhibited at the different stations, respecting the limitation of the Company’s liabilities to the loss or damage of luggage. All passengers by Railway will do well to have their luggage distinctly marked with their names and destination.
Gentlemen’s carriages and horses.—Gentlemen’s carriages and horses must be at the Stations at least a quarter of an hour before the time of departure. A supply of trucks are kept at all the principal Stations on the line; but to prevent disappointment it is recommended that previous notice should be given, when practicable, at the Station where they may be required. No charge for landing or embarking carriages or horses on any part of the line.
Road stations.—Passengers intending to join the Trains at any of the stopping places are desired to be in good time, as the train will leave each Station as soon as ready, without reference to the time stated in the tables, the main object being to perform the whole journey as expeditiously as possible. Passengers will be booked only conditionally upon there being room on the arrival of the Trains, and they will have the preference of seats in the order in which they are booked. No persons are booked after the arrival of the Train.—All persons are requested to get into and alight from the coaches invariably on the left side, as the only certain means of preventing accidents from Trains passing in an opposite direction.
Conductors, guards, and Porters.—Every Train is provided with Guards, and a Conductor, who is responsible for the order and regularity of the journey. The Company’s Porters will load and unload the luggage, and put it into or upon any omnibus or other carriage at any of the Stations. No fees or gratuities allowed to be received by the Conductors, Guards, Porters, or other persons in the service of the Company.
Smoking, selling of liquors, &c.—No smoking is allowed in the Station-houses, or in any of the coaches, even with the consent of the passengers. A substantial breakfast may be had at the Station-house at Birmingham, by parties, going by the early train; but no person is allowed to sell liquors or eatables of any kind upon the line.—The Company earnestly hope that the public will co-operate with them in enforcing this regulation, as it will be the means of removing a cause of delay, and will greatly diminish the chance of accident.
Goods sent to Birmingham, Manchester, or Liverpool, by the evening Trains, are generally delivered early on the following morning.

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.
