By the 1860s railway travel was accepted by most people and almost 200 million journeys were made each year. The railway companies gave little in the way of clear, helpful information to those who were travelling by rail for the first time. This guidance had to come from other sources ... The Handybook was, in fact, a complete (and revealing) guide to railway etiquette.
