an ad from my October 1981 Architectural Digest magazine. I'm not a huge fan of 80s-modern furniture, I would never want this couch, but as an ad this is a very cool page! the color works for me too

A Delaware River Port Authority goose directional sign for the Walt Whitman Bridge, with a faded '76 sticker from the 1976 Bicentennial.
A fascinating report, in two sections the first being a photographic record of the use of the roundel within the then LT system and secondly, a brief analysis and recommendations for discussions to help provide "new and coherent directives to the various departments" in terms of the use of the roundel. It is not dated but I would say that c1980 seems right as Sir Peter Masefield was only chairman of LTE from 1980 until 1982.
The device, previously known as the 'bulls-eye' or 'bar and circle' has been associated with London's transport since its introduction on Underground station platforms in 1908 and over the decades not only has it become synonymous with the city and its transport but it has proved to be a useful and adaptable symbol for multiple uses. In fact, as this report notes, some applications were seen as 'functions for which it was not designed' - the report singles out its use as a component part of directional signs as an example.
The photographs show the numerous styles and applications of the symbol across London Transport's stations (both rail and bus), train and bus fleet, its premises, stationery and 'miscelleanous' uses such as the new London Transport Museum. The discussions following the recommendations where to see significant changes in the design and management of the roundel through new corporate and design standards and in the 1980s and early 1990s many of the signs seen here would be swept away - some I recall 'salvaging' for the LT Museum Collection including some that perhaps it would have been more appropriate to keep in context. Possibly the largest 'clean sweep' was around bus stops with the new design replacing every single type of post and flag across the whole of London; arguably the bus stop 'estate' had become the most untidy.
Interestingly the discussions do note that conservation (p.37) is of importance in considering replacement and indeed the report mentions there would be merit in replacing some already 'lost' signs at specific locations. This did not stop some rather enthusiastic 'purging' in coming decades and indeed in my role in London Underground, from 2001 - 2017, the team I was part of actually spent some time replicating various 'lost' types and styles of sign for heritage sensitive locations that we felt had been 'a step too far' in the past! The main drift is that expertise is needed, that applications should be considered and designed in accordance with their merits and "roundel useage is diversified and consistently inconsistent".
This page of station roundels includes examples of the platform bench integral signs that we fought to keep, mostly successfully, on site. There is also one unique style of sign - Sudbury Town - that is not in Johnston typeface but the short lived experimental Percy Delf Smith 'sefiffed' typeface of 1932/33 and that appeared at this station, Oakwood and Cockfosters were the roundel seen here ('Mod' and all) has been replaced by modern replicas of Delf Smith.
After yesterday's bumper day out, on 14/04/19 I visited Balshaw Lane Junction to see the 0Z90 loco move, which was Freightliner 90043 running from Crewe Basford Hall SSM to Carlisle under the Caledonian Sleeper banner, presumably to take up sleeper duties. Of note is that the loco didn't have tail lights on; it had marker lights displaying on the rear which I've never seen before.

An old DRPA directional sign for the Ben Franklin Bridge with a goose, faded here, pointing the way. The 1976 Bicentennial sticker still faintly shows.

I took a series of photographs on the last day, representing my feelings of leaving Italy. I was feeling like some parts of me were going to be left behind once we had left.
Hue at each location is the dominant angle of movement from that location; saturation is the level of agreement about that direction.
The main pattern is from one way streets, but you can also see that the high-quality GPS signal on the Bay Bridge is from San Francisco-bound taxis on the upper deck and the noisy signal is from Oakland-bound ones on the lower deck.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 + M. Zuiko 25mm f1.8, a great lens and made in Japan too.
MIA! That's what I have been recently, I know. It's due to a combination of things and I guess part of it is a break too which is always great. I think I might become a weekend visitor actually. I just don't see myself spending time here everyday like before, maybe a few minutes but that's not really enough to see all your work. It's good and bad, the good is I get to spend more time doing other important things like family, exercise, rest. The bad is I will be missing all your great work. But hey, I have the weekend to catch up, right?
To those who were curious, I didn't buy another lens. This was just loaned to me for a couple of days. Thank you Cal for letting me use your brand new lens first. Hope to see you in future Vancouver-area FT photowalks.
