"Hi Graham,
Thank you for posting, I don't think I've seen this timetable before. What's interesting is the connections at Fenny Compton, never seen any advertised there before, that's why I'm certain I've never seen it!…"
‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways'
