Absolutely incredibly surreal to see the network map I designed for Northern immortalised in the excellent new book from @markonthemaps.bsky.social and @mrmappy.bsky.social!

Most transport maps show you where things go. This one was designed to change a habit. See more about our work for Northumberland County Council: transportdesigned.com/work/ncc-int...

The inside track on the creation of the ever-so-pretty (and substantially more useful) new Northern network map. Fascinating stuff. Designers are so clever.

#OnThisDay in 1987, the Bee Line Buzz Company started operations in deregulation era Manchester. Its little minibuses made a big impact, but competition was strong and it had disappeared from the region's streets within ten years.

A small minibus stands outside Manchester Victoria railway station. The bus is bright yellow, with a red roof, and on its bonnet there's a prominent cartoon of a bee. The station entrance is on the left just behind some taxis, and behind the minibus in the distance we see double decker buses in orange or green.

So pleased that I managed to get hold of a copy of the 1984 BR Passenger Timetable today, courtesy of @motgm.uk. Beautiful use of linear two-point perspective and referenced in the excellent book by @doublearrow64.bsky.social, my copy even came with bookmark and pullout map!

Nice! Wonder why some of them have yellow painted fronts though, and others don't?

A simply stunning piece of writing from @danielhwright.bsky.social over on @thebeautyoftransport.com - the 'Major Stations' icons which simply refuse to die. Pandora's Box has been opened - I suspect they'll be around in all kinds of official/unofficial capacities for a looooong time to come.

To celebrate the kindness of 1000 BlueSkyers following these witherings, I’m sharing with you some pics of a surprise visit to London’s #DesignMuseum (after last weeks book launch) which encompass many subjects I post about like transit, telecommunications, typography and good old radio. Thanks all!

If you get on the Victoria Line you might find yourself in a special train carriage. TFL has collaborated with PlayStation installing a brand new PS5 moquette. The design features a fun maze, encouraging passengers to play as they travel. The carriage will be available until Jan 7th

Fantastic to take a day out, spend time catching up with friends and see the latest innovations from the bus industry at Euro Bus Expo. There’s lots that the bus and rail industries can learn from each other - shared passion for innovation, customer experience, design & branding for starters…
