Great post from LondonUndergroundKnowledge. And there’s more on the design process in this new book on 50 Iconic Transit Maps! amazon.co.uk/Iconic-Transit-…
It is 50 years ago today since Harry Beck, the designer of the iconic London Underground tube map, died.

ON THIS DAY: 53 years ago, the Q23 stock was withdrawn as it approached 50 years old. Its last hurrah was on the East London Line, last running on the District Line on 30th June. Here one calls at Earls Court Platform 3, image Peter Shoesmith Circa 1957/58 flic.kr/p/2i6KPQS

ON THIS DAY: 85 years ago, the LNER withdrew passenger services to Edgware resulting in closure of Edgware, Mill Hill (the Hale) and Mill Hill East to allow doubling, electrification, and transfer to LPTB. Ultimately only Mill Hill East reopened. Images: disused-stations.org.uk/e/ed…
