About Me

I am a former railway booking clerk, later a bus driver, and also a long time ticket collector. I own a selection of older ticket machines of various types. Some years ago I bought the surviving assets of the dormant firm of Whitings of Robertsbridge, the preferred printer of forms and tickets for the Colonel Stephens railways. In setting up in business on his own account, William Whiting, the founder of the Robertsbridge firm, may well have triggered the final demise of the parent firm, TJ Whiting & Sons of London, who had been famous in the late 19th century as printers and suppliers of tickets and fare collection equipment to a multitude of (predominantly) horse tramways and minor railways. The family business had been severely dented before William Whiting's departure by the LCC systematically taking over the London horse tramways in order to convert them to electric operation.
