Description: | Passengers are sitting in an R.F.-type coach on the Woolwich Ferry whilst on a London River Tour.
This combined road and river tour was organised by London Transport (L.T.). It was an innovation in the expanding programme of London sightseeing tours that took place during the 1950s. This reflected a heightened feeling of optimism as tourists and Londoners started to take leisure trips again. Such luxuries had been severely curtailed during the immediate post-war years.
L.T. used its new R.F.-type coaches, built by A.E.C, for the first time on these sightseeing tours. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport | Temporal: | 11 Jul 1951 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
