Description: | During the Second World War, the Ministry of Transport took control of most of the UK's railways. In 1939, a Railway Executive Committee was established as an agent for the ministry to co-ordinate the management of the railways. Badges like this were issued to authorised railway workers in recognition of their work on the railway throughout the war. This example is for London Transport railways.
The badge was oval, and those issued by mainline railway companies displayed a locomotive. The London Transport version showed the griffin symbol. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 1939-1945 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
