The survey took place on 7th August 1954 between 8am and 8pm and covered the MIdland lines between St Pancras and Manchester and Carlisle plus the Birmingham and Bristol line and others. There were forty posts, manned by some 120 observers. The idea for the survey had grown up from a plan to study how Leicester London Road station coped with its greatly increased traffic on August Saturdays. Of keen interest to all students of railway operation. The survey was one of the first of its kind - an activity that has died out.
