Traction Bulletins - WR 1970 - 1976


In January 1970 the issue numbers reverted to start again at one.

Download a PDF file (6.1mb) containing all these issues detailed below. In this, I have included all the cover and index pages for the issues I have, as well as pages with information relating to DMUs — but omitted pages with no DMU relevance.
