Travel was fun

Six colourful Underground railway posters issued in the first quarter of the century and just re-printed suggest something that many people would now hardly believe: that life and travel in London were once fun and cheap.
"We carry dogs and folding mailcarts," says orie, 1 knOw what a dog is, but a mailcart, folding or otherwise, is beyond my ken. Was it a mobile machine for folding envelopes marked: "Photographs: do not bend?"
One of the cartoon-style posters shows people being lured away from what looks like K-type London General buses into what could have been an historic public convenience but on closer inspection is found to be an Edwardian entrance to an Underground station. It is full of wit and like the other five, is good value at £1.25.
