London Transport 1949-74

London Transport 1949–74

NOTE: This is a paperback reissue of the much-loved Twenty-Five Years of London Transport: 1949–74.

London Transport was formed in 1933 to bring together all the public transport operations (except national railways) that served the capital, its suburbs and surrounding countryside. Previously, these had been in the hands of a myriad of operators, some more dependable than others. This book illustrates the transition from pre-war transport system standards to the essential modernisation that was essential to encourage continued public use of London’s diverse transport offering.

Containing 120 colour photographs and detailed explanatory captions, 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.
