A Bradshaw was a book that listed when trains left and arrived, all over Britain. From the nineteenth century until about the middle of the twentieth, if you wanted to plan a trip by rail, you looked it up in Bradshaw. People even said “Bradshaw” the way we might say “the timetable,” as if the man’s name were the book itself.
