Description: | This photo was taken on the platform at Holborn station in December 1965.
Two months earlier, construction had finished on the Victoria line extension as far as Finsbury Park. When it was completed in 1969, the Victoria line would relieve much of the pressure on the Piccadilly line, particularly on its busiest stretch between Holborn and Finsbury Park.
The picture is one of a number taken at Holborn station at that time and may have been to publicise the extension. It shows London Underground employee stationwoman Ms O Hanson pointing to Holborn station on an Underground map. The Victoria line is still marked as unfinished. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Work | Temporal: | 10 Dec 1965 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
