Victoria Line : times and fares : leaflet : London Transport : 1972 : London Transport Publicity Office/T. P. Demuth : second fold
A well designed and simple leaflet issued by London Transport in Autumn 1972 describing the services and stations on London Underground's relatively new Victoria line from Walthamstow to Brixton; the first phase had opened in 1968/69 with the Brixton section being completed in 1971. It gives details of fares (in the, again, relatively new decimal currency) as well as service intervals that show what a step change there has been in terms of delivery and train intervals in recent years.
The leaflet was designed in LT's own Publicity Office but is, unusually credited to a specific designer, Tim Demuth. Although the titling, line diagram and map (the Paul Garbutt version here) is set in Johnston, the body text isn't. It also shows the automatic ticket gates that were pioneered on the Victoria line and the 'experiment' already in place to ease use and maintenance of the gates.
