Tickets

To start this collection off here are a pair of Runabout tickets issued during the summer of 1962. As both the Chacewater - Newquay and the Helston branches had little time to run they were not included on the 'available lines' map on the back of the tickets.  However, fortunately, we were advised that until these lines finally closed that the tickets were valid.  Hence the rather crude scrawlings on the back of the ticket 001. We think these tickets were probably purchased at Redruth.  Does the 'W' stamp on my wife's ticket mean wife or woman?
