A comprehensive collection of United Kingdom cardboard railway tickets, primarily of the Edmondson format, presented in two specialised albums with matching storage boxes. The collection features a significant quantity of tickets from various heritage and regional lines. One album focuses on the Great Central Railway heritage line in Leicestershire, featuring numerous Day Runabout tickets for journeys between Loughborough Central and Leicester North, alongside a platform ticket for Loughborough Central dated 21 November 1981. Other national and regional lines represented include the London and North Eastern Railway (L.N.E.R.) and British Railways, with destinations such as East Leake, Rushcliffe Halt, Nottingham Victoria, Rothley, and Skegness. The second album contains a sizeable sub-collection from the Barton House Railway, a miniature line in Norfolk, with tickets for travel between Wroxham and Riverside featuring decimal currency prices including 5p, 8p, and 12p. This album also includes examples from the Bluebell Railway for the Sheffield Park to Horsted Keynes route. The tickets are organised within clear plastic multi-pocket sleeves designed for ephemera storage. Many tickets bear contemporary date stamps and cancellation marks.
