Description: | After the Second World War, many women who had been employed by London Transport to fill men's places while they were fighting continued to work for the company. This photo shows women in a rest room in 1947. It was taken at Fulwell depot, a trolleybus garage, and these women worked on the trolleybuses as conductors.
Trolleybuses were brought into use in London in the 1930s. They replaced trams, which were more expensive to run. They were replaced in turn by regular buses and in May 1962, the last trolleybus made its final journey from Wimbledon to Fulwell depot. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 7 Aug 1947 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
