We are now in July of 1967 and the bright cover colours (cover design by Stephen Dwoskin, himself a very interesting individual, film director and founder of the London Film Co-op) are reflecting not just the future of rail but also the heady days of the Summer of Love…

Below are colours I like too, and somehow they will get to be the colours that take us right into the 1970s.

For all you rail enthusiasts the following article must be a dream. By rail to the future is an optimistic article about the redevelopment and re-imagining of the future rail has to play. With hindsight this future remains yet to happen for many of us with rising costs keeping much of the population on the roads. It is a sad reminder of what British Rail really could have been…

Some more ‘infographics’ from the 60s:

Finally some gift ideas that predate Etsy, from a collection of very British designs, some of which were on show at the Design Centre in 1967.
