GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY
Instructions for Ticket Issue
and
Passenger Traffic Accounting
In the Years before the Great War
Railway companies were large and complex businesses, and all departments laid down detailed rules to be followed by their staff. For the locomotive and running departments the rule book was important to safe working; for the station clerk, rules and instructions were designed to prevent errors in accounting and fraud by staff or members of the public.
Descriptions of the types of ticket issued, their dating, punching, and collecting, the terms on which various reduced rate tickets were available to eligible parties, season tickets issued and excess fares collected, together with the correct method of preparing station accounts were printed in an Instruction Book for the guidance of Stationmasters, Goods Agents and Others in the Preparation of their Accounts, Etc.
All such matters of accounting were supervised by the Audit Office at Paddington, and the detailed instructions once needed for good business management now provide a window into the world of Monthly Classifications, Special Paper Tickets, and the Privilege Ticket Orders for visiting members of Staff of Colonial Railways which were printed on yellow paper and issued only from the General Manager's Office.
