Description: | Eric Midwinter was Chairman of the Transport Users Consultative Committee (T.U.C.C.), which became the London Regional Passengers Committee (L.R.P.C.) in 1983.
The L.R.P.C. became the London Transport Users Committee (L.T.U.C.) in 2000. Eric was Chairman between 1984 and 1996.
The L.R.P.C. was active in the development of the Travelcard in 1983, which simplified and reduced fares. The Travelcard was valid for both buses and the Underground.
Overground trains were not included in the deal until 1984, when the Capitalcard was introduced. This was the basis for the modern Travelcard. A weekly adult. zone 1 Travelcard cost £4 in 1983.
Here Eric talks about the LRPC's role in the introduction of the Travelcard. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1980-1989 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
