Obviously a Party Outing by British Railways, North Eastern Region : booklet : British Railways (North Eastern Region) : 1954
One of the many editions, produced regionally, by British Railways to promote group travel and aimed at party, social club and other group organisers giving details of locations and destinations served by rail and the opportunities afforded in terms of fares, services and reservations available. This, for the North Eastern Region based in York, shows a range of places in North East England and Yorkshire as well as further afield; London, Liverpool and Scotland feature.
The woodland creatures admiring the party spread are looking at an approximation of the "Compakt" meal boxes that could be made up, in advance, by British Transport Catering for travellers at prices of 7/6d upwards along with Meal Trays and Packed Lunches. There is no sign of the BR 'totem' symbol here but a less common version of the speeding locomotive often seen on BR's overseas publicity along with some slanted lettering.
