I always thought the Victoria stopped where it does (roughly where
Pimlico is) because it was created to advertise the Tate Gallery
(now Tate Britain) and the stop for that is Pimlico.

That's right.. The painting is called The Tate Gallery by Tube but
I still hate it....


Why do you hate it?

Just aesthetics, I suppose.
But then there's not much underground publicity that I think is well
designed anyway.

I quite like it. I've actually had a poster of it since I was quite
young.

I don't like the way a lot of recent Underground publicity is moving
away from the use of New Johnston (e.g. the We (underground logo)
London stuff).

How much of the original poster is used on the map?
It's the balance you see... it seems wrongly placed to me.
Of course, this sort of thing is totally subjective.

I've just looked at an EWSA; the cover is New Johnston but the contents
seems to be something different..

EWSA (Engineering Works Safety Arrangements): Is it issued by LU or
Metronet/Tube Lines? I could understand a different typeface being used if
it's a Metronet document.
