Rob,
I would imagine .jpg would be the best format, and the highest resolution
you can manage. I wouldn't want to miss any interesting or important
details because my eyes wouldn't focus. Thanks for doing this and if you
can think of any questions I may be able to answer, please ask. I've done
some research on the passenger timetables back as far as the thirties, and I
may have other stuff that dates back that far.
Duncan
