Description: | Oxford Circus station was redeveloped in the 1960s as part of the opening of the Victoria line. Various devices were introduced on the Underground at the time to help passengers find their way around.
The route indicator is an electronic version of the Underground map. Passengers could select their destination from the console. The route from Oxford Circus would then light up on the display, and give the platform number.
These machines were later withdrawn. It was difficult to keep them up-to-date with information such as temporary station closures. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 21 Jan 1974 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : H J Hare & Son | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
