  • The London Underground, 1968–1985

    The Greater London Council Years

    de Jim Blake ...
    LONDON'S HISTORIC, iconic Underground railway system in the period from 1968 to 1985 was a very different place to what it is in the 2020s.

    A Decade of Change and Transition

More than 7,000 were built in all and although London Transport favored A.E.C. chassis, which the first batches of RTs had, so pressing was the need for ... Leer más
