The Circuiteer was published with a guide book to the cab fares, but the booklet is missing from this copy of the map. Our pre-pasted wallpaper from HP needs no additional adhesive and is so simple to install that you won't need to pay for a commercial decorator to do it for you (although we have fitters available should you wish - call us on 01993 880 939 to discuss). This map has been fully scanned and is currently being digitally assembled for display. It should be on display by the end of July.
