‘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'

E&WJR working timetables
Barry Taylor's first volume contains - at page 126 - reproduction of an1890 E&WJR working timetable. Is the original document in private hands or publicly accessible?
E&WJR and SMJR WTTs are at National Archives, Kew under reference RAIL 982, stating with the 12 months from Nov 1900 to Nov 1901 at RAIL 982/1, then a smattering to 1920., After 1923 the line was in the LMS Midland Division wtts, of which a good run is available.
Are there any other examples out there?

The 1890 WTT is safely in private hands..
I do have copies of the Kew WTTs, but thus far I have not located any other similar examples.
That said there were a couple (I think) of EWJR WTTs for sale in one of Robert Humm's catalogues a year or two ago. I missed them and cannot remember the years, but they are presumably out there somewhere.
