Description: | As well as recruiting men and women from Northern Ireland, London Transport offered work to people from the Republic of Ireland. Most Irish recruits came to London from rural areas.
New recruits were sent to the L.T. training school in Chiswick, west London. Arriving in London was a shock for some Irish people. The noise, the size of the city and the huge numbers of people living and working there were new to them.
Mary Williams had worked in New York for six years before coming to London to work on the buses. She was used to life in the city but even she found some things hard to get used to. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship | Temporal: | 1950-1959 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
