Incidentally, the old tube map is also a prop from "The Escapist" with
'Union Station' marked onto a 1938 diagram - see my photo

Yes, I only spottesd that subtle edit of the map after posting this
comment. It was very well done -- I wonder why they didn't just rename
an existing station? Not having seen the film, I don't know if the
story line would prohibit that approach.

I also wondered about editing a genuine LU map, while producing a
station sign with the wrong font (unless that was the correct font in
1939). Would LU stop the film-makers from using something that more
closely resembles Johnstone?
