Description: | This photo was taken at Westminster station in 1935. The station is connected to the Houses of Parliament next door. A year earlier, the public had been allowed to use the subway to Parliament for the first time.
Here a uniformed guard stands on the platform, blowing a whistle and waving a signal flag. This notified the driver that it was safe for the train to depart. There is a passenger in the background.
The blurred outline of a third figure can just be seen to the left of the guard. It looks like a man in uniform with a peaked cap and is possibly the on-board guard. This man would have operated the doors on the train. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 3 May 1935 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
