Whilst clearing out some cupboards I found three leaflets or brochures
published by London Transport in conjuction with BR. They consist of
an A3 sheet, folded to approx 5½" x 3" and are giving details of
special travel arrangements for the Olympic Games in 1948, the 1951
Festival of Britain and the 1953 Coronation respectively. Is there a
market for this sort of thing ?

Worth doing some searches on Ebay (www.ebay.co.uk). A quick look showed a
BR/LU Coronation map for sale and several lots of bus tickets, but hardly
any bids so far. Others may be able to advise on contacting the specialist
traders in this field.

I also found my (schoolboy) collection of London bus tickets from the
40's and 50's - any market for these ?

(See above) That brings back memories! I was always amazed at the effort
that must have gone into printing different tickets for every route listing
the fare stages, with a different colour card for every fare, and each one
with a unique serial number.
