Highlights of your journey

A souvenir saved from my first ever trip to London in 1966.

With the electrification from Liverpool and Manchester to London having just been completed, all passengers on the new services were given this leaflet to make the speedy trip more interesting. Inside is a straight line map of the route with snippets of information about the places passed. The introductory text opines: "You will find the service speedy, reliable, comfortable and clean. We hope you enjoy it" I certainly did enjoy my journey in what was then brand new Mark II stock.
