Description: | This picture was taken by London Transport (L.T.) to publicise its new uniforms in 1973. The man in the photo is train guard Nick Dunn. He is modelling the new, simpler grey uniform.
The new design got rid of the traditional decorations such as embroidery and piping. It was part of L.T.'s plan to standardise the look of rail and bus staff. At a time when passenger numbers were in severe decline, L.T. was working to improve its public image.
The two women staff are Sue Scannell, on the left, and Marian Gilroy, right. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | May 1973 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
