Part of a series assembled by John Swift in the course of a railway career spanning 50 years. After early years as a relief signalman and in the control office in Rotherham, he was appointed a member of the Midland Division Shunting Analysis Committee based in Derby whose work involved the study of operating problems over the whole Division. He retired in 1982 as the Head of Section – Operating and Signalling, in the Chief Operating Manager’s office at Crewe where he was responsible for preparing local and general operating instructions and the approval of new works and alterations.

The diagrams were originally prepared as an aide-memoire and in general show the track layout in the period 1955 – 60immediately prior to the many changes and track recoveries of the Beeching era.
