About this title

Synopsis:

With the majority of its passengers travelling during the weekday rush hours, the Underground has long recognised the benefit of promoting leisure travel on its lines. This was particularly the case before the era of mass car ownership, when top poster artists were commissioned to encourage people to travel by Underground to the London stores, open spaces,the River, evening entertainment and sporting and ceremonial events.
