Description: | This workman's return tram ticket was issued by London County Council Tramways (L.C.C.T.) in the mid-1920s.
L.C.C.T. had a complex fare and ticket system. This was due to the municipal nature of the operation, to local politics and to the historical influence of the Tramways Act (1870). The Act required tramway operators to provide cheap workman's fares on their services. This is an example of a 4d (4 pence) workman's return ticket. It was issued for services running between Wandsworth and central London.
London Transport took over all the tram operators in 1933. It introduced cheap early morning tickets on all buses, trams and trolleybuses in October 1950. This led to the workman's ticket being withdrawn. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1923-1926 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
