Description: | The 1 shilling all-day ticket was introduced by the London County Council Tramways in 1925. It provided unlimited travel in the County of London and certain lines beyond which the council's tramcars operated. The aim was to counter motorbus competition from London General Omnibus Company Limited and the independent operators.
This early 'Rover' facility soon became popular and was continued by London Transport after it took over the London County Council trams in 1933. The 1 shilling day ticket was withdrawn along with the 6d (sixpenny) evening ticket in October 1942, when leisure travel was discouraged as part of wartime restrictions. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | April 1938 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
