Examining the development of public transport in London during the 1930s, Michael H.C. Baker recalls the founding of the London Passenger Transport Board, the introduction of trolleybuses, the expansion of the underground and the launch of the enduring RT-type bus.
London Transport was created in 1933 to coordinate the shambolic, overlapping transport systems of the capital, and for decades has striven to meet the challenges of organising London travel. This book presents the story of the organisation from its origins, through the upheavals of the Second World War, to TfL's biggest project - Crossrail.
