London Transport has always wanted the best design, be it Charles Holden's superb art deco Tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, its elegant Johnston typeface or Harry Beck's Tube map.

A wittily written book. --Twentieth-Century Society magazine A little gem of a book and, as its title suggests, is intended to be used much like a wildlife field guide. I recommend this book as a charming introduction to railway design. --Pat Frost, Text, the journal of the Textile Society A delightful book on an intriguing facet of London Transport - a fascinating niche, and I found it much more compelling than, say, rivet-counting on Josher-bowed narrowboats or valve gear on GWR locomotives. All in all, Andrew Martin has written an intriguing book that has opened up a facet of London's transport to a wider audience and he easily succeeds in hitting his sitting target.
