Being a bit of a station spotter too 👀, and Charring Cross being one of my very favourite stations - I’m looking forward to finding more out about it in tonight’s episode of @MrTimDunn’s The Architecture The Railways Built.
On Monday at 8pm, @MrTimDunn explores the history of Charing Cross station, on #TheArchitectureTheRailwaysBuilt! 🚆

So… @TfL asked me to design a #Pride roundel… and I’ve just had the privilege of seeing it unveiled at Baker Street station as one of ten across London’s tube network! Some background to my LGBT-history-and-moquette-inspired design is here: timdunn.com/landmarks
@MrTimDunn 💬 ‘London’s buzz gives me energy. Last year, silence fell and I missed you all terribly. All I had were buildings to keep me company, so here are a few with personal or LGBT+ historic importance to them’.

@thepostalmuseum Is this the only example of PO Double Line signage on a pillar box?
The Post Office typeface designed by Colin Banks / Banks and Miles is up there with Rail Alphabet. Timeless classic.

Today @thesundaytimes allowed me to sing the joys of Britain’s little model villages... but with fewer than 30 villages left, they’re an endangered species. So on, find your local, be a big kid and visit this year! thetimes.co.uk/article/save-… (£/free trial) & in today’s paper too:

Much chat today about #GreatBritishRailways and its possible future branding. But did you know that British Rail's original "Double Arrow" (or “arrows of indecision”) logo was only chosen at the last minute from dozens of drafts? Here are four of the rejected designs, from 1963.

Rather than watch TV tonight, maybe you’d like our *frantic* 32 min rush around 320,000 historic @TfL London Transport objects (and meet curators too) - at @ltmuseum Acton Depot, ahead of this weekend’s #loveyourline Open Weekend. We all hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/0ajJQDmPSqo

The British Rail Manual arrived in our offices today! The publication celebrates the iconic history of British Rail’s corporate identity.

Lovely to have the British Rail Manual featured in @fantasticman's run-down of favourite books for @itsnicethat

Season's greetings :)
All you have to do, for extra Xmas bonus points, is tell me the eight locomotive numbers to which these lovely nameplates belong...

There were MANY things wrong with BR, but one of the things it did well was publicity and design. In my childhood bookcase is 1974’s “British Rail Today and Tomorrow”. Let’s look at some of the pictures. First, @NetworkRailEUS! That tower & pond has been consumed by a cafe now...

Some fascinating pre-Eurostar branding (European Passenger Services)...
