Just aesthetics, I suppose.
But then there's not much underground publicity that I think is
well designed anyway.

I quite like it. I've actually had a poster of it since I was quite
young.


How much of the original poster is used on the map?
It's the balance you see... it seems wrongly placed to me.
Of course, this sort of thing is totally subjective.

I don't like the way a lot of recent Underground publicity is moving
away from the use of New Johnston (e.g. the We (underground logo)
London stuff).

I've just looked at an EWSA; the cover is New Johnston but the
contents seems to be something different..

EWSA (Engineering Works Safety Arrangements): Is it issued by LU or
Metronet/Tube Lines? I could understand a different typeface being used if
it's a Metronet document.

You'd think at least they get an updated one that omits Aldwych, and
has the Jubille extention and the Victoria goign to Brixton....

But you need a passport for Pimlico....

Obviously an alternative universe, as there wasn't a sub-surface line
running through Pimlico at the time the film was made/set!

But there must have been *some* sort of Underground line, since the film
shows a train being stopped and boarded by Stanley Holloway for passport
checks before being allowed into Pimlico. I can't remember whether it
was a tube or subsurface train :-)

It was a District Line train, presumably near Victoria.

But have the boundaries of this outpost of the Duke of Burgundy's estate
been defined?

Clever Watford ;-)
Thought you'd all be fascinated by that bit of info....

Is that the large poster (no, not you, Kat!) or the folding pocket map?

I've only seen the folding pocket map so far but I imagine the station
maps would have been changed last night.

ISTR that the printers hadn't delivered the larger maps yet.

Sounds about right...

Does her "A Zone" looks big in that?

It's fairly clear in the film - I checked last time it was one, and
it's nowhere near any contemporary underground line.

Appears that we got ours OK and all have been changed except the sticky
backed ones for the non-stopping boards...

Yes, we got our too! Why did the last bit start the Blue Peter theme tune in
my head?

LOL!
Must have been the new-improved-smaller-HHC- thingies...
That's one that should have been made earlier.
