Great Western Railway Excess Fare Tickets
This lot comprises a collection of original Great Western Railway (GWR) Excess Fare tickets, all dated 1918. These tickets represent a fascinating glimpse into the railway travel of a century ago, detailing fares paid above the standard price for specific journeys. The tickets exhibit the characteristic design of the GWR, with printed details of the origin, destination, passenger class, and the additional fare paid.
Condition and Collectability
The tickets show signs of age and handling, consistent with their age and use. Some exhibit minor wear, creasing, and staining, but the printed details remain largely legible. This collection will appeal to railway enthusiasts, collectors of railwayana, and those interested in social history, offering a tangible connection to the past and a unique addition to any collection.
