London Transport Railways diagram (1950) in "Welcome" slip
A rather unusual thing this - a tube map (or Railway Diagram to be precise) in a small multi-lingual "welcome/Bienvenue/Welkom" cover slip, issued "with the compliments of the London Transport Executive".
It smacks of the 1948 Olympic Games or the 1951 Festival of Britain and it could have been a hangover from 1948 even if this has a 1950 map in it. The map cover has the "Railways" version of the roundel as at the time there was a bit of a post-nationalisation tussle as to what to "brand" the Underground within the new Executive.
