Description: | The Underground produced this calendar to send to clients who bought the advertising spaces at stations and on vehicles.
Each page showed a view of the week. Data about London's transport system appeared at the top of each page, for example weekly figures such as the number of passengers that used each mode of transport, the quantity of coal needed to power the Underground, and the distance escalators travelled.
One particularly startling fact is that that the lifts in service on the Underground in 1925 made up to 300,000 round trips in a week, the average distance each one travelled daily was equivalent to the ascent of Mount Everest! | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1925 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
