What is this typeface called?

For a while, Johnstone was available either from tfl.gov.uk or from the transport museum website... might be worth digging around.

...but does it have graphic elements inspired by the design motifs of items including maps, tile patterns and seat covers? it's not font porn...it's better than that it's font erotica *swoon*

I have a particularly personal reason (besides the obvious LT & font porn associations) a slightly battered 1946 edition of Edward Johnston's Writing & Illuminating & Lettering was the first book on letter-forms that I ever owned (mostly because it was edited and prefaced by one of my architectural heroes, William Lethaby).

I can blame Johnston for getting me into all this in the first place

e2a: sod it. I just bought it.

I tried but it wouldn't accept my debit card.

ALL the extras? That was about two hundred quid!
