Happy New Year! doublearrow64.bsky.social
@richardprice500 @BusManual (As in me and doublearrow)
@richardprice500 @BusManual I’m doing both :) See you there!
I’m shedding followers here and I think we all know why
Ah yes, the (upside-down!) chonk (don't ask!)
Network NorthWest (the short-lived branding used for Provincial services in parts of the north west of England, introduced in May 1989 I think) lives on! Ignore the fat British Rail double arrow and the flower! 😂 @_doublearrow
@RPMarks @ParallaxFluxTX I think that sign has too much information on it which probably isn’t helping; if the RA2 typeface is used as part of the new overall scheme I think it works fine
Richmond station is a treasure trove of proudly-displayed @_doublearrow posters of yesteryear. The GatEx adaption is particularly special! 1/2
@_doublearrow Things that you can’t unsee
One of the very few examples of the original version of the Airport Alphabet. More info about the design process of our digital version coming soon.
A digital facsimile of the forerunner to Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert’s Heath/Rail/BAA Alphabet; Airport by Revolver Type leaning heavily into the lettering devised in 1961 by Matthew Carter for Colin Forbes’ signage at the Oceanic Terminal (T3) at London [Heathrow] Airport
RIP sweet childe
Whilst you lot sleep, the railway is still keeping busy... Here's one of the @RoyalMail Class 325 electric trains whizzing southwards full of post.
A digital facsimile of the forerunner to Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert’s Heath/Rail/BAA Alphabet; Airport by Revolver Type leaning heavily into the lettering devised in 1961 by Matthew Carter for Colin Forbes’ signage at the Oceanic Terminal (T3) at London [Heathrow] Airport
Airport - A new typeface family. A digital reimagination of Matthew Carter’s alphabet for London Airport. Originally drawn in 1961 for the wayfinding system in the newly built Oceanic Terminal, today known as Heathrow Terminal 3. Available now from revolvertype.com/typefaces
If nothing else this diagram of the London Boroughs is glorious
Bus speeds in parts of central London have fallen to 6.6mph, a new report from @LonTravelWatch reveals
Just Tom Baker (90 today!) in a railwayman’s get-up shortly after British Rail rebranded
Since Tom Baker is trending, it's only right and proper to once again enjoy his brief scene-stealing performance opposite Sidney James and Peggy Mount in George and The Dragon (3rd February 1968).
Good morning everyone. As was usual, the Crewe Works open days were superb affairs, giving the general public a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. One of the undoubted stars of the 1984 open day was 56133 'Crewe Locomotive Works', seen here just after the naming ceremony 😉👍
They’re old and apparently would have needed major overhauls; better to bin them off [and get some new ones]
Scrapping an electric train that kept several lorries off the road each day, nice one 🙄
@BrixtonHatter Heavily corroded apparently
