Southern England ; Kent to Cornwall : brochure issued by British Railways, Southern Region : 1960
A quite stylish brochure issued by the Southern Region of British Railways and designed and produced by their Publicity Office in 1960. It has the feel of a distinct design and style shift from the 'standard' BR leaflets of the 1950s towards something a little more 'contemporary' in graphic design terms. By 1965 the complete rebranding of the network as British Rail, with a strongly centralised 'look' would have swept such regional fare away.
The graphics include this stylised diesel locomotive across the title banner and the text is an attempt at something more informal and conversational. Clickety-clack.
