Independent Travellers Edition
The Independent Travellers Edition (ITE) of the Overseas Timetable appears twice-yearly in Summer and Winter editions. The idea of this edition is to make it more widely available through the booktrade, as most bookshops would not sell enough to justify stocking the bi-monthly edition. However, it is also available direct from Thomas Cook Publishing and on their website.
This edition is well worth considering as it includes much extra information, in fact all six of the special features which appear through the year. In the regular edition you only get one feature per issue, but in the ITE you get all six! Apart from these extra pages the content of the Summer ITE is identical to the May-June edition, and that of the Winter ITE is the same as the November-December edition. A voucher (valid six months) enables you to buy a later bi-monthly edition at a discount in order to obtain the latest available timings.
