To and From England and Ireland by the LMS Steamer and Train services : timetable cover : 27 September 1937

            The London Midland & Scottish Railway had more than a passing interest in journeys between England, Wales and Ireland as they not only owned several port facilities such as Holyhead, and Heysham, they owned part of Northern Ireland's railway system by way of the LMS - Northern Counties Committee. They also ran the services between Stranraer in Scotland and Larne that appear in this timetable along with details of associated crossings from Liverpool. 

The main "Royal Mail" routes that are shown in detail were the crossings from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire and Stranraer to Larne but alongside these two routes and the various railway connections on either side, the Holyhead to Dublin and Holyhead to Greenore, both cargo only sailings are shown, as well as the then important Heysham to Belfast. The latter route allowed many connections from North West England to Ulster.

The booklet also includes a page giving details of air services provided by the associated Railway Air Services; a method of transport that in postwar years would do much to supplant passenger traffic on ferry services.
