This page gives examples of passenger fares in both the commercial and preservation eras.
All GWRGreat Western Railway and BRBritish Rail or British Railways-era fares quoted are for a single journey, unless stated otherwise. Those fares are shown as originally published in pre-decimalisation form with 12d ('old pence') = 1 shilling and 20s = £1. For example the 1934 London to Kidderminster first class fare shown as 25/4 (the historically abbreviated presentation of £1 5s 4d) would today be written £1.27.
