June A trip to Windermere started the month off on Sunday, the 3 rd , with an afternoon trip to Blackpool leaving at 14:56 and returning at 23:30 on Saturday the 9 th . The 24 th saw repeats to Chesterfield, the circular to Ravenglass and Keswick, and a special to Fleetwood, which would be repeated on July 4 th . A spokesman at Accrington Station said, “We have not been as busy as usual, but we will not know the entire picture until the Blackburn Holidays come later, but we anticipate that more people will be travelling on what was the old holiday fortnight. However, people seem to be travelling in greater numbers to resorts further afield than has previously been the case”.

Although bookings on the special trains had come up to expectations they had fallen “far short” of those recorded in 1961. The day trips on the first Saturday and Sunday had been described as a flop, but the poor weather could have been a factor. ) July Millom was revisited on the 1 st , whilst on Monday, the 2 nd , there was a circular tour of North Wales by steam train going out via Caernarfon and returning via Dolgellau. Departing at 05:58, the return was from Barmouth at 18:00, with packed lunches which had to be ordered in advance at 5/6d on top of the 27/- even though there would be a buffet car on the train. It was advertised that the 2nd Class Holiday Town Runabout Tickets would be available again at a cost of 31/6d. Specials continued with Morecambe on Thursday, the 5 th . On Sunday, the 8 th , the choice was Barrow or Ilkley and the circular to Ingleton and Morecambe, and on Monday, the 9 th . The trips continued on the 15 th , with the excursion to Scarborough, with a 3½ hour stay, then Whitby for 2 hours,
