Luggage in Advance

Luggage in Advance
This label dates from the late 1960s when British Rail provided a service to collect your luggage ahead of your journey and deliver it to your house shortly after you had arrived. The service cost a little extra on your fare, yet it was cheap at the price.

I like the way the image is so sharp of something so scuffed, scratched, faded, aged...and the concept of your luggage going on without you seems attractive still.

For many years this trunk has been stored in a damp outhouse. How the paper label has fared so well is a surprise. The ghost of British Rail is hard to extinguish.
