EDITORS COMMENTS
Race Day Bargain, BR poster, 1970s: A Glimpse into the Golden Era of Railways and Sporting Excitement". Step back in time to the thrilling world of horse racing with this print from the National Railway Museum. This vintage poster, produced by British Railways (BR) in the 1970s, invites us to relive a bygone era when rail travel and sporting events were seamlessly intertwined. The artwork, skillfully created by an unknown artist, captures the essence of equestrian sports at its finest. Vibrant colors bring to life jockeys astride magnificent horses as they thunder towards victory on York Racecourse. The sheer energy and determination emanating from these dynamic figures is palpable. This promotional masterpiece not only celebrates the exhilaration of horse racing but also highlights BR's commitment to providing exceptional experiences for their passengers. By presenting a rail ticket at the gates, racegoers were rewarded with a generous £1 discount off admission prices – truly a "race day bargain". As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are transported back to an era where railways played an integral role in connecting people with their passions. It serves as a reminder that beyond mere transportation lies a rich tapestry of cultural moments waiting to be discovered. Join us on this nostalgic journey through time as we celebrate both our love for sport pastimes and our admiration for railway heritage captured within this extraordinary photograph from NRM/Pictorial Collection.
