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.

Site Revisions: 17th April 2017

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.

Video Talk: Bus Blinds and the Typographic Challenges
Following the gradual phasing in of my new blind displays I was invited to give a short to talk at TfL’s Surface Transport offices in May 2016. This led to an invite to give an expanded version to The Sign Design Society on 10th November 2016. This was live streamed at the time and later made available only to their members. With their kind permission you can now watch and listen by clicking on the button below.
The talk is illustrated with 45 slides. I explain the importance of legibility of these displays on the front and side of the buses and why I designed four new interpretations of the wonderful Johnston typeface specifically for the purpose. I explain the huge limitations the space available on the bus presents and how the well-meaning Disability & Discrimination Act (DDA) fails to understand the problem, as do those who are unthinkingly deferential to it. About 6,500,000 bus journeys are made in London every day and every one of them starts by the passenger trying to read the blinds.
The video will open on Youtube, where you can set it to play at full screen for best effect. Watch the video >
Founts, Fonts and Typefaces
This new piece of writing was needed to help calm me down (it didn’t work). I have tried to explain how some long-standing professional expressions have been badly damaged in recent years and why I think it is important the current generation of computer users understand their true meanings. I have no chance of changing anything but thought the kind of visitors to my site might like to know where these expressions came from and what they actually meant. The piece is necessarily quite short and glosses over hundreds of years of history but I hope is nevertheless a wee bit insightful.
Founts, Fonts and Typefaces >
New detailed bus drawings
The obsessiveness continues. A new drawing has been created depicting the short-lived and highly non-standard Cravens bodied RTs from the early post-ward era. Other than the cab, nothing of these bodies was interchangeable with any others in the fleet. Allied to this drawing I have provided a comparison with the standard vehicles.
AEC Regent Cravens Post-War RT >
Cravens and Park Royal Bodies Compared >
Another completely new drawing for this site is for prototype Green Line Routemaster CRL4. After extensive testing in service this bus led a few years’ later to a fleet of 68 luxury coaches numbered 1453 to 1520. These were designated as ‘RMC’ and CRL4 was brought into line as RMC4. The text allied to the CRL4 drawing explains the many changes made for the main fleet in the light of experience gained with the prototype.
