Description: | After London Transport was formed in 1933, many train lines retained their own social and welfare organisations.
The care these groups gave extended to families as well as staff members. Benefits included health care and pensions as well as social events. These were particularly important in the inter-war years, before the beginning of the Welfare State.
Numerous photos from that period record children's outings organised by welfare societies.
This photo was taken at Ravenscourt Park station. The children, with their adult carers, are about to board a special District line train heading for the Pavilion Excursion Grounds in Eastcote. A guard in uniform is helping children onto the train. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 30 Jul 1934 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
