Title - Intercity APT - The Shape Of Travel To Come - The most Advanced Passenger Train.
Artist - Photo.
Description - Modern railway history in the form of the Advanced Passenger Train (APT), the high speed future that never was, with a photo of the train tilting while running through a corner somewhere on the West Coast Mainline route between Glasgow and London. The poster was probably produced to coincide with the APT starting passenger service in late 1981. The final year in service was 1986. At the bottom is the BR tag-line of the time - "This is the age of the train".
