jhb171achill Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The attached may be of interest, from another of the (extremely) occasional posts of stuff in the “catacombs” in the study..... I well recall the ”Lady Patricia”, the ”Lady Gwendoline”, the ”Grania” and the “Miranda Guinness”, the latter not yet built when this booklet was produced about 1959/60. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayner Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Interesting the booklets are similar in style and format to the CIE Working Timetables. I wonder whether there was a connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether there was a connection? I had another look at it. It was printed by their own printing works - where they made their bottle labels. The print font used was common enough back then; before the days of the all-encompassing "arial" which seems to have pervaded just about everything, worldwide, from the late 1960s. It actually fell out of a book that I was consulting for something else. I have hundreds of books, and even more railway documents and timetables, and it's amazing what pops out of them now and again - I found an original 1947 GNR "Enterprise" brochure last week! I had forgotten I had it, as I sold three or four that I DID know I had, some years ago....! It's coincidental in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
