In the
carriages
The wait until it appeared in
the carriages seemed endless but of course the
four-color art work had to be prepared by others,
the print run had to be made and the coaches had to
be fitted with the new sized panels - with the map
appearing in the center panel of three, as in the
photo below. It was an exciting day for me when I
first saw the map fitted on a Richmond to Waterloo
service and I subsequently took my parents on a
'map siting trip'. Two or three years later when I
became a Maintenance Supervisor with 25 Lyons
Teashops to keep running, spread all over SW
London, I got some real value out of the new map
and I hope other rail travelers did as well.
