Train & Public Transport in London - 1941 British Council Film Collection - CharlieDeanArchives

[@markrowley1223]

Magnificent short film showing Londoners commuting in 1940. For London Underground enthusiasts it includes rare footage of the experimental 1938 stock. A little gem of a film.

What a clean and tidy London then!

A world long gone. They had no idea what was coming.

@Frankie Nolor No such implication, not better just different and long gone.

Interesting to see how few people bothered taking their gas masks with them. Great little documentary.

I can admit it remains widely unchanged to this day.

When London Transport was a great thing. Can you imagine today's Transport For London doing all this during wartime conditions ? They'd be too bust arguing about who paid for what ! As for why they didn't stick with the iconic red or postwar silver livery for trains, I'll never know. Modern graffiti - proof twinpack paint'd surely sort that ! ?

A slightly repetitive feature. This subject was revisited by the BTF unit producing a masterpiece. All That Mighty Heart

[@wilhelmsenholderlin8025]

3:30 That's a 1935 stock!

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

There is a film that I watch on London trains today but I don't know what it is called.

[@splishsplash9036]

no fast food outlets in those years

[@dulls8475]

Is this Harry Enfield?

[@lawrencecarlin4309]

Back when it was properly funded

[@Keithbarber]

And much of its operating costs were covered by fares revenue and needed little public subsidy

[@Joebunkyss1]

photography by w.luff....whats in a name eh.

[@mistie710]

I've always been fascinated by transport systems but seeing all those people reminds me that I hate London.

[@staypress]

Great stuff . It was hands on and old school in those days with British workers who knew what they were doing and not shirking about and having tea breaks all day long and not one schvartza in sight

[@alanmarr3323]

Rubbish there was just as many skivvers

[@PhilMace]

Lovely classic propaganda
