Description: | The early 1980s were a difficult time for London Transport (L.T.). The declining use of public transport in favour of private vehicles during the 1960s and 70s had badly affected L.T. revenues. As a result, there was limited investment in the buses and trains. By the late 1970s, this was obvious in the ageing bus and train fleets and run-down infrastructure.
This picture from 1981 was taken outside the booking hall at Mill Hill East station. The booking hall had been remodelled following a fire in 1968, though the Victorian station building has remained largely untouched. By 1981 both it and the bus stop outside were looking rather shabby. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Public Services Transport | Temporal: | Jul 1981 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
