ARTISTIC IMPRESSIONS OF TRAINS (PAGE ONE OF TWO)
The advent of 'Midline' and the appointment of design consultants enabled the 'artists' to run riot as they portrayed trains in their publicity material. Here is a selection of the most fanciful.
This 'Sprinter' appeared with the launch of the summer services in 1987. The artist has done a very good job here.
'Mr & Mrs Average Family' is portrayed here. There's only one real problem - the sprinter is printed back to front! This comes from a 'Dayranger' advert.
This is from the same leaflet and note that the 'Sprinter' is the right way round.
This is how the 'Sprinter' had evolved by the time it was used in this 1988 leaflet. Note lack of doors for the driver or passengers.
