Southport, LOR poster, 1923-1947

Liverpool Overhead Railway poster promoting cheap fares via The Most Interesting Route. The LOR (1893-1956) became the first electrically-worked elevated railway, the first to use an escalator, automatic signalling and a colour light system. Until its closure in 1956 the line remained independent, even from nationalisation. Artwork by Alfred Lambart

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster promoting the Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR) and its affordable fares via The Most Interesting Route. Dating back to the years between 1923 and 1947, this poster captures the essence of an era when railway travel was at its peak. The LOR holds a significant place in history as it was not only the first electrically-worked elevated railway but also introduced several groundbreaking innovations such as escalators, automatic signaling, and a color light system. Despite nationalization efforts during its operational years from 1893 to 1956, this iconic line remained independent. The artwork featured on this poster is credited to Alfred Lambart, whose talent shines through in his depiction of Southport swimming scenes with women donning stylish swimming costumes of that time. This image beautifully encapsulates the leisurely spirit associated with seaside destinations like Southport. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but fondly remembered. It serves as a reminder of how railways played an integral role in shaping our transportation systems while also providing moments of joy and relaxation for travelers throughout history.
