Enamelled metal notice from Clevedon Station

Enamelled metal notice from Clevedon Station, Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway. Legend "W.C&P.L.RLy Notice. Passengers are requested to examine their tickets and change before leaving the booking office, as no mistakes afterwards can be recognised. By Order."

The railways were bound by rules and these helped keep workers and passengers safe. Signs declared what was allowed, and what would happen if rules were broken. Some of the warning notices are very long and required a good level of literacy to read and apply.
