Virtual exhibition celebrates Transport for London’s role in the Second World War

Transport for London is using its online archives portal to commemorate until June 2021. It features historic photographs and information on how the London Passenger Transport Board, as it was then known, contributed to the war effort, including by providing air-raid shelters in London Underground stations and manufacturing parts for bombers. The exhibition also features individual acts of heroism by employees, such as garage hand Ernest Price, who rescued three women from the wreckage of a building in 1941 despite danger from the presence of gas.
