Plates, signs, notices etc
When British Railways was formed in 1948 it said it wouldn't rush out and change all the signs. That started about two 2 years later and never quite finished before the 1965 image change. For North Eastern Region a vibrant tangerine was chosen to demarcate the different blues of Scottish and Eastern regions. It is said that pink was suggested and ruled out. Having used software on this picture to see how in would look in pink this is perhaps just as well, though it was rather striking! As with all these Ladies Waiting Room signs the grammatically necessary apostrophe after 'Ladies' has been rationalised out.
