London Transport was formed in 1933 to bring together all the
public transport operations (except national railways) that served
the capital, the suburbs and the surrounding countryside.
Previously, these had been in the hands of a myriad of operators,
some more dependable than others. Containing some 120 colour
photographs, including rare images from the postwar period, and
detailed captions, this album shows the transition from prewar
standards, which initially continued after the Second World War, to
the modernisation that was essential to encourage continued use of
London's transport systems by the public in the face of increasing
car ownership. Rekindling memories of the postwar period, this
nostalgic colour portrait looks at London Transport's buses,
trolleybuses, trams and underground trains (both surface and tube
stock) operating between 1949 and 1974.
