During the lengthy process of preparing this latest website revision, a book by Alistair Hall was drawn to my attention called London Street Signs (Batsford, London, 2020, 216x240mm hardback, 192 pages). Though there is no overlap in content with the street furniture on my website, the subject matter is closely allied. This is a splendid book, well researched in my humble opinion and (unusually these days) very well designed. If a few more copies are bought as a result of me recommending it here, I will be happy.

London’s Underground Edwardian Tile Patterns
A new book has just been published by Capital Transport and called ‘The Birth of the Tubes’. Despite providing accurate corrections to the proofs and as a result having my name entered in the credits, some serious errors have appeared in the final book.

I pointed out that the photograph, now on page 39, was most definitely not Earls Court as stated on the proof, but was of Waterloo. I sent a plan that proved this, which was acknowledged. I am dismayed that this correction has been further uncorrected. The caption states ‘Embankment’ and this is quite wrong. For the avoidance of doubt, the photograph was taken at the southern end of the northbound platform at Waterloo, Bakerloo Railway.

On page 43 is a photograph of a Piccadilly Railway booking hall. With the invaluable assistance of Paul Hadley, I amplified the caption to state this image was of Brompton Road, though the caption remains silent on this in the published book. To compound this omission, on page 60, the caption for the booking hall photograph states the image is of Brompton Road. It is NOT. It is a well-known photograph taken at Russell Square. It looks to me as though the caption on this page ought to have been the second paragraph of the caption for Brompton Road on page 43.

A new detailed bus drawing of one of the late 1960s MB series added. There were several variants of these AEC ‘Swift’ single deckers which, although in one fleet number run, included different vehicles based on one theme. The bus depicted is an MBA built for use on the Red Arrow group of routes.

The Red Arrow was to become a branded network all of its own with a flat fare and very limited intermediate stops. Passengers entered at the front and paid via a coin-in-the-slot and then pushed through one of two three-armed turnstile. Exit was via the centre doors. One-man operation, flat fares, and separate entrance/exit are all routine now, but these were significant innovations then.
