Description: | This sign reading 'Gas 15 M.P.H.' was made for the London Transport. It warned train drivers to slow down because there could be poisonous gas in the atmosphere that could be ignited by sparks from the rail track.
Throughout the war, there was a fear that the enemy could use deadly gas to attack Britain. Gas had been used during fighting on the Western Front in the First World War. Luckily, there were no such attacks in the Second World War. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
