Extracts from the Great Western Railway’s Public Time
Tables of 1935 showing how the services by Streamlined Rail Cars were steadily
increasing as three more of these Diesel Railcars were taken into stock that
year. The advert on the left is from the Summer 1935 Time Table (8th July to
29th September), while that on the right is from the Winter 1935 Timetable
(30th September 1935 to 5th July 1936). In addition to the twice daily
Birmingham to Cardiff Express Business Service with its buffet bar, there was
now a service from a Worcester Shed based Diesel Railcar which called at
several Warwickshire Stations as it roamed across the network:

This was operated by Railcar No 7 which arrived at Worcester
on 8th July 1935. Railcar No 5 entered service at Oxford on 22nd July 1935,
while a second Railcar for Worcester - No 6 (see gwrt345) arrived on 30th
August to provide a spare. The Winter 1935 timetable also shows the Luxury
Diesel Railcar undertaking a short additional return trip from Birmingham Snow
Hill to Stratford-on-Avon in the middle of the day.
