Josh Finklea's Newest Release, the Centra Series, Is a Study SHARP TYPE / 2017 CENTRA NO. 1 BLACK 90pt Centra No.1 CENTRA NO. 1 BOLD 32pt Josh Finklea’s newest release, the Centra series, is a study in utility and restraint. CENTRA NO. 1 MEDIUM 22pt In keeping with his approach of iteration & improvement to the traditional typographic tools of graphic design, Finklea’s latest work VILLAGE tackles one of typography’s most popular genres, the geometric sans. CENTRA NO. 1 BOOK 12pt Instead of strict adherence to a formal geometric structure, Finklea’s approach to the Bauhaus model is largely aesthetic. While Futura and other historical models of the genre were designed as distilled typographic expressions of modernism, Centra acts as a contemporary typographic expression with modernist characteristics. The Centra Series emphasizes texture and readability over conceptual rationale, attributes that can be frustratingly elusive when using many strictly geometric sans-serif typefaces.

The world’s first underground railway, the Metropolitan Railway, whi ch opened in 1863, is now part of the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolit an lines; the first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City an d South London Railway in 1890, is now part of the Northern line. The network h as expanded to 11 lines, and in 2016–17 carried 1.379 billion passengers, making it the world’s 11th busiest metro system. The 11 lines collectively handle approximat ely 4.8 million passengers a day. MEDIUM, MEDIUM ITALIC & EXTRABOLD 12pt The system’s first tunnels were built just below the surface, using the cut-and-cov cover method; later, smaller, roughly circular tunnels—which gave rise to its nickna name, the Tube—were dug through at a deeper level. The system has 270 stations and 400 km of track. Despite its name, only 45% of the system is actually undergr ound in tunnels, with much of the network in the outer environs of London being on the surface. In addition, the Underground does not cover most southern parts of Greater London, with less than 10% of the stations located south of the River Th ames. The early tube lines, originally owned by several private companies, were b brought together under the ‘UNDERGROUND brand’ in the early 20th century and and eventually merged along with the sub-surface lines and bus services. BOOK, BOOK ITALIC & BOLD VILLAGE 12pt The current operator, London Underground Limited, is a wholly owned subsidiary o f Transport for London. As of 2015, 92% of operational expenditure is covered by pa ssenger fares. The Travelcard ticket was introduced in 1983 and Oyster, a contactless ticketing system, in 2003. Contactless card payments were introduced in 2014. The LPTB was a prominent patron of art and design, commissioning many new station b uildings, posters and public artworks in a modernist style. The schematic Tube map, designed by Harry Beck in 1931, was voted a national design icon in 2006 & now inc ludes other TfL transport systems such as the Docklands Light Railway, London Over ground and TfL Rail. Other famous London Underground branding includes the rou ndel and Johnston typeface, created by Edward Johnston in 1916. LIGHT, LIGHT ITALIC & MEDIUM 12pt The idea of an underground railway linking the City of London with some of the railw ay termini in its urban centre was proposed in the 1830s, and the Metropolitan Railw ay was granted permission to build such a line in 1854. To prepare construction, a sh a short test tunnel was built in 1855 in Kibblesworth, a small town with geological pro properties similar to London. This test tunnel was used for two years in the develop ment of the first underground train, and was later, in 1861, filled up. The world’s first u underground railway, it opened in January 1863 between Paddington and Farringdo n using gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives. It was hailed as a suc cess, carrying 38,000 passengers on the opening day, and borrowing trains from oth er railways to supplement the service. WWW.VLLG.COM 8 SHARP TYPE / Centra No.1 Sample Text Settings BOLD & BOLD ITALIC 10pt The Metropolitan District Railway opened in December 1868 from South Kensington to Westminster as part of a plan for an underground “inner circle” connecting London’s m ain-line termini. The Metropolitan and District railways completed the Circle line in 188 4, built using the cut and cover method. Both railways expanded, the District building f ive branches to the west reaching Ealing, Hounslow, Uxbridge, Richmond and Wimbled on and the Metropolitan eventually extended as far as Verney Junction in Buckingham shire, more than 80 km from Baker Street and the centre of London. For the first deep- level tube line, the City and South London Railway, 3.10 m diameter circular tunnels we re dug between King William Street and Stockwell, under the roads to avoid the need for agreement with owners of property on the surface. This opened in 1890 with electr ic locomotives that hauled carriages with opaque windows, nicknamed padded cells. MEDIUM, MEDIUM ITALIC & EXTRABOLD 10pt The Waterloo & City Railway opened in 1898, followed by the Central London Railway in 1900, known as the “twopenny tube”. These two ran electric trains in circular tunnels ha ving diameters between 3.56 m and 3.721 m, whereas the Great Northern & City Railway, which opened in 1904, was built to take main line trains from Finsbury Park to a Moorga te terminus in the City and had 4.9 m diameter tunnels.In the early 20th century, the Dis trict and Metropolitan railways needed to electrify and a joint committee recommende d an AC system, the two companies co-operating because of the shared ownership of t he inner circle. The District, needing to raise the finance necessary, found an investor in the American Charles Yerkes who favoured a DC system similar to that in use on the City & South London and Central London railways. The Metropolitan Railway protested abou t the change of plan, but after arbitration, the DC system was adopted. BOOK, BOOK ITALIC & BOLD VILLAGE 10pt Yerkes soon had control of the District Railway and established the Underground Electri c Railways Company of London (UERL) in 1902 to finance and operate three tube lines, th the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway and the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway, which all opened between 190 6 and 1907. When the “Bakerloo” was so named in July 1906, The Railway Magazine called it an undignified “gutter title”.By 1907 the District and Metropolitan Railways had electrifi ed the underground sections of their lines. In January 1913, the UERL acquired the Central London Railway and the City & South London Railway, as well as many of London’s bus an d tram operators. Only the Metropolitan Railway, along with its subsidiaries the Great Nor thern & City Railway and the East London Railway, and the Waterloo & City Railway, by th then owned by the main line London and South Western Railway. LIGHT, LIGHT ITALIC & MEDIUM 10pt A joint marketing agreement between most of the companies in the early years of the 20th century included maps, joint publicity, through ticketing and UNDERGROUND signs outsid e stations in Central London. The Bakerloo line was extended north to Queen’s Park to join a new electric line from Euston to Watford, but World War I delayed construction and train s reached Watford Junction in 1917. During air raids in 1915 people used the tube stations as shelters. An extension of the Central line west to Ealing was also delayed by the war and co mpleted in 1920. After the war government-backed financial guarantees were used to exp and the network and the tunnels of the City and South London and Hampstead railways w ere linked at Euston & Kennington, although the combined service was not named the No rthern line until later.

LONDON UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS 1913-32 James Fowler The York Management School University of York [email protected] A rapid deterioration in British railways’ financial results around 1900 sparked an intense debate about how productivity might be improved. As a comparison it was noted that US railways were much more productive and employed far more detailed statistical accounting methods, though the connection between the two was disputed and the distinction between the managerial and regulatory role of US statistical collection was unexplored. Nevertheless, The Railway Companies (Accounts and Returns) Act was passed in 1911 and from 1913 a continuous, detailed and standardized set of data was produced by all rail companies including the London underground. However, this did not prevent their eventual amalgamation into the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 on grounds of efficiency. This article finds that despite the hopes of the protagonists, collecting more detailed statistics did not improve productivity and suggests that their primary use was in generating publicity to influence shareholders’, passengers’ and workers’ perceptions.

  • The Origins of Political Electricity: Market Failure Or Political Opportunism?
    THE ORIGINS OF POLITICAL ELECTRICITY: MARKET FAILURE OR POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM? Robert L. Bradley, Jr. * The current debate over restructuring the electric industry, which includes such issues as displacing the regulatory covenant, repealing the Public Utility Holding Company Act, and privatizing municipal power sys- tems, the Rural Utilities Service (formerly Rural Electrification Adminis- tration), and federally owned power systems, makes a look back at the origins of political electricity relevant. The thesis of this essay, that govern- ment intervention into electric markets was not the result of market fail- ures but, rather, represented business and political opportunism, suggests that the intellectual and empirical case for market-oriented reform is even stronger than would otherwise be the case. A major theme of applied political economy is the dynamics of gov- ernment intervention in the marketplace. Because interventions are often related, an analytical distinction can be made between basis point and cumulative intervention.' Basis point regulation, taxation, or subsidization is the opening government intervention into a market setting; cumulative intervention is further regulation, taxation, or subsidization that is attribu- table to the effects of prior (basis point or cumulative) intervention. The origins and maturation of political electricity, as will be seen, are interpret- able through this theoretical framework. The commercialization of electric lighting in the United States, suc- cessfully competing against gas lamps, kerosene lamps, and wax candles, required affordable generation, long distance transmission capabilities, and satisfactory illumination equipment. All three converged beginning in the 1870s, the most remembered being Thomas Edison's invention of the incandescent electric light bulb in 1878. - * Robert L.

  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line
    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

  • Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3
    RETRO UNDERGROUND: THE SEVENTIES TO THE NOUGHTIES – 3. OTHER EVENTS by Tony Morgan My earliest memories of the Underground are during the Second World War travelling from Kingsbury on the Bakerloo Line into London and sometimes on to Kent on the Southern Railway to visit relations. In 1968, after ten years of driving to North Acton, I started commuting in to Great Portland Street. While I was there the second section of the Victoria Line opened as far as Warren Street. One lunchtime I decided to have a quick trip on it. The 1967 Stock train came in to reverse back. The Train Operator was standing in the cab with his back to the direction of travel as the ATO stopped the train. Maybe this was being done to build confidence in the new control system. Travelling home one day from Great Portland Street I saw the latest LT Magazine on display in the ticket office. I then started buying it on a regular basis. The front cover of that first edition had a photograph of the C69 Stock about to be introduced on the Circle Line on it. From that magazine I found out about ‘The Last Drop’ event at Neasden Depot, on Sunday 6 June 1971 advertised, which celebrated the end of use of steam locomotives for engineers’ operations. There I joined the Society because of their Sales Stand. This was my first organised event. At this event all three remaining locomotives were in steam. L94 hauled a rake of engineers’ vehicles from the City and pulled into one of two Klondyke Sidings in Neasden depot.

  • 1 a Report by Sawtag Opposing
    A REPORT BY SAWTAG OPPOSING THE CLOSURE OF WATFORD METROPOLITAN STATION AND ITS ASSOCIATED ROUTE. ALL OF THESE ARE TO BE SAFEGUARDED UNDER EXTRACTED GOVERNMENT POLICY. This report opposes the closure of Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station on three major grounds. 1 Retaining peak, football and special traffic, and positively building up traffic. Both the Metropolitan Line and WCML/Watford Suburban Lines serve nearby Wembley Stadium extremely well already. Also, train portion working must be advanced to best practice elsewhere. 2 Facilitating the forming of an extended London Overground network, through the extracted Government Policy of better protection, critical in developing rail infrastructure and interchange. 3 Essential safeguards are to be put in place to protect the truncated alignment through Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station. Firstly , it is essential the latter station is retained at least for continued peak hours services, in view of the steadily increasing peak and general use of both the London Metropolitan Underground and Network Rail West Coast Main Line centered system. Safeguarding is also essential in order to serve during the interim for Watford Football Club traffic attending the Vicarage Road Stadium. Pending the establishment of a new station; immediately South of the Stadium on the new Croxley Link Line; Watford (Met) Station is to be kept open for both peak and Football traffic with requisite direct connecting buses. These connecting buses will run from a retained Watford Metropolitan Station direct to the Stadium. There was a railway triangle immediately South of the Stadium, and Croxley Moor alternatives (reference no. 8) to the Croxley Link Project; investigated both linking the Rickmansworth LNWR branch corridor west to the Rickmansworth (Met) Main Line towards Aylesbury, and generally reinstating the pre-Beeching railway triangle inter alia.

  • Abbey Line Report 060615
    Hertfordshire County Council Abbey Line Passenger Survey FINAL REPORT June 2006 The Railway Consultancy Ltd 1st Floor, South Tower Crystal Palace Station London SE19 2AZ Tel. 020-8676 0395 Fax. 020-8778 7439 1 Executive Summary E1 The Abbey Line between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey is a single-track Community Rail Partnership (CRP) line. Although currently operated by Silverlink, the line is to be part of the new West Midlands franchise, due to commence on 11 November 2007. The Community Rail Partnership is seeking to increase the frequency of services on the route, to a half-hourly level, thus requiring a second trainset and passing loop to be installed. The CRP therefore commissioned The Railway Consultancy to undertake a series of passenger counts and surveys of passenger travel patterns, in order to provide a basis on which business planning might be undertaken. E2 Analysis of passenger usage on the line was based upon surveying all weekday and weekend services once during May 2006. This encompassed the counting and alighting of boarders at every Abbey Line station and a series of on-train counts. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to passengers. A total of 1300 forms were distributed; by the closing date of 9 th June 2006, a total of 496 survey forms were returned completed, representing a response rate of 38%. E3 Count data across the survey period revealed that passenger numbers on the line were somewhat disappointing. The total number of boarders (i.e. across both directions) for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays were respectively around 1300, 1000 and 450 per day.
