Just the Ticket- Memories of A Liverpool Booking Clerk 1962-1965

Written by a booking clerk, an occupation most people might think dull and uninteresting, Just the Ticket reflects on Barry Allen's career in this profession. Barry's own exploits in this job could hardly be described as dull. Humour forms the basis of his story, without which life would be much the poorer. All the events included in the book are based on fact, although most individuals mentioned are now retired or sadly deceased. Barry's career with British Railways was extremely short, a mere three years. It began during the twilight of steam, a period best known to railwaymen as pre-Beeching, when Britain still had a large railway system. This book tells of the life and times of a booking clerk between 1962 and 1965.
