Title - Party Outings by Rail and Combined Tours by Rail River and Road.
Artist - Gordon Randall.
Description - A Western Region produced poster, with three vignettes giving the essence of what you might get for the Rail, River and Road parts of the tours. They appear to suggest a steam train travelling along the sea wall in Devon, boat trips and punting on the River Thames, and a coach trip through a rural village with a stream and hills in the background. The whole poster has been quite cleverly achieved with a minimal colour palette used to good effect. A leaflet was produced using the same artwork. Party traffic was always a good way of filling off-peak trains, so posters regularly advertised the opportunities.
