Description: | In this busy traffic scene at Shepherd's Bush, a London United Tramways X.-type electric tram heads to Southall. Powered by the electric wires overhead, this is London's first electric tramway, picking up passengers outside Shepherd's Bush Underground station on the Central London Railway. The station signage shows that the underground fare is 2d (two pence) to any station, which is why the Central line was called the 'Two-penny Tube.'
A 'garden seat' type horse bus stands in the front partly obscuring the tram. People crowd around tram and the station facade. A horse and cart and cyclists are also making their way along the cobbled streets. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 25 Mar 1905 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
