| Under proposals drawn up in the mid 1930s, the Northern Line was to be extended beyond Edgware to Bushey Heath and Elstree, and a new large depot built east of the terminal station. Construction of the depot reached an advanced stage and work began on the line, but the Second World War intervened: the depot became an aircraft factory and the extension was abandoned. This book gives a detailed account of the plan and its failure, extensively illustrated with engineering drawings and photographs from the archives. | ||||

| Once seen on station platforms from London to Newcastle, posters for the LNER represented the zenith of 1920s and 30s commercial art. Created by some of the most talented artists in the country, they were brilliant examples of composition, novel perspective and bold use of colour. This collection, featuring posters by artists including Frank Newbould, Tom Purvis and Fred Taylor, illustrates how the 'golden age of steam' was also a golden age of graphic design. | ||||

| Capital Transport 1999 464 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1854142097 | ||||
| Published Price £25.00 | Our Price £9.99 | |||
| Starting with the London & Greenwich, the capital's first railway, and working clockwise around London, Jackson deals with the history of the 48 lines around the capital, some of which are no longer in use and others which have greatly changed in character over the years. Sixteen maps and 250 photographs combine with research into social history to tell the story of each of the four main geographical divisions in London's local railways (SE, SW, NW, NE) and their relationships with the capital itself. First published 1978, expanded and revised 1999. | ||||
