This print takes us back to the late 1950s, capturing a glimpse of the Aberystwyth Enquiry Office at the bustling Aberystwyth Station. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see three dedicated employees who played an essential role in assisting passengers with their travel needs. These women were the friendly faces behind the counter, ready to provide guidance and practicalities for each journey embarked upon. Their expertise extended beyond mere ticketing; they were knowledgeable about train schedules, destinations, and all things related to rail travel. The wall behind them is adorned with a vibrant collection of publicity posters that evoke a sense of wanderlust. These eye-catching advertisements promote various holiday destinations across the extensive railway network. From seaside escapes to picturesque countryside retreats, these posters aimed to entice travelers into exploring new horizons by train. As we observe this scene from yesteryear, it becomes evident that these remarkable women not only facilitated journeys but also served as ambassadors for train travel itself. Their dedication ensured that every passenger received personalized attention and left with excitement for their upcoming adventure. This photograph encapsulates an era when railways were at their peak popularity and showcases both the professionalism of these female employees and the allure of traveling by train during this transformative period in history.
