Description: | This photographic postcard shows two London General Omnibus Company bus drivers, Mr G Clark and Mr Ewins, with a woman conductor, posing beside B.-type bus No B824. There are two further B.-type buses in the shot.
The destination board on the front of the bus indicates the buses' route from Kings Cross to Burgh Heath in the borough of Kingston.
Women first appeared as conductors during the First World War, when they were recruited to replace men who had been called up. This woman is wearing her full summer uniform, ticket punch machine and cash bag. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 24 Sep 1916 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
