Holiday Runabout
One sheet, British Railways Holiday Runabout Tickets
were a type of ticket offered for inexpensive holiday trips. The vintage poster seen in the image advertises these tickets, which were issued from May to October.
The "Holiday Runabout Tickets" provided unlimited travel for a set number of days, often seven, within a specific region. These tickets were a popular option for people looking to explore a particular area on their summer holidays. The tickets and similar offers were part of a larger trend where railways made seaside and countryside holidays accessible to a broader population. The poster was created for British Railways, which was the nationalized body that took over from private railway companies after 1948.
The poster in the image and similar vintage posters and leaflets are available for purchase as reproductions or originals. Some of the posters, including those featuring the artist A. N. Wolstenholme, can be valued highly.
