Title - The Journey Of A Nightime - Intercity Sleeper (Swallow).
Description - A stylish poster design, with a simple depiction of a train of mark3 sleeper coaches speeding through the night, lit up by a full moon partly covered by cloud. The mountainous background is most likely to reference the Scottish highlands (with no overhead electric wires visible).
The Swallow was added to the branding in 1987 to celebrate Intercity's 21st birthday, and 'to symbolise grace and speed' on trains meeting high quality standards.
No route is specified so it was a general advert for the brand, rather than specific to a particular journey.
