paul,
stupid idea here probably, but how about employee timetables from the
division you want to emulate. they came out twice a year. how about
timetables from say, 1967, 1968 and 1969 then put it all together on
a sheet of paper. the times probably did not change that much when
they renumbered the trains. some of them they just added 100, but not
on all. depends on the division.
