X54 bus fare table

Thanks to Philip Crook W4275291, from 1962, for this souvenir.

Phil says it's "from my very battered copy of the Midland Red bus Fare Table from 1960. I can't find any reference in my time tables for the same era and never saw a X55, but caught the X54 to Birmingham once or twice.
Whittles Coaches left from the parade ground about 12 noon on Fridays, but there was nearly always some petty alleged infringement found by some miserable Drill Instructor, so that you would miss the express coaches. Midland Red left on the main road, near to the guard room, about 1300, can't remember on Fridays, but it certainly ran on Saturdays, returning on Sunday evenings."
