Description: | Volunteer drivers cheer after passing their driving tests during the Great Strike of 1926. The scene was taken at the London General Omnibus Company depot on 6 May 1926.
These men would now be sent out to drive London's buses, keeping the City moving. The regular bus drivers and their tram and train counterparts were on strike in support of the miners.
There are some accounts of bad driving during the strike, which is not surprising since many drivers had only just passed their tests! | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | 06 May 1926 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
