Description | 1886 Letterpress poster comparing journey times to a selection of 'places of interst' on the competing Metropolitan Railway and District Railway travelling in opposiite directions on the Inner Circle. Comparing the Met journey times to their 1885 timetable suggests the poster was displayed at Bayswater, so the journey times in the clockwise direction to the locations chosen are less than on the District's anti-clockwise route, though the ticket prices are the same. |
