A railway timetable or guide; historically, a standard reference for train schedules in Britain.
Named after George Bradshaw, a 19th-century English printer who first published comprehensive railway timetables in 1839. The name became so associated with train schedules that it became a common noun.
Bradshaw's guides were as essential to Victorian travelers as smartphones are to us today—knowing the schedule meant the difference between catching your train or spending hours waiting in a station.
