OS TRANSPORTES PÚBLICOS DE LONDRES. N.3. PARA OS ARREDORES VAI-SE DE COMBOIO ELECTRICO Os auto-onibus e os combóios subterrâneos dão vasão ás principais estaçóes ferroviarias de onde partem os combóios suburbanos. A rapidez e a precisão dos transportes entre o centro de Londres e os distritos fora da capital fazem com que quem trabalhe na cidade de Londres possa viver praticamente no campo, a 25 ou a 30 quilómetros da cidade. Muitas vezes os combóios subterrâneos e os combóios das principais linhas electricas servem-se da mesma via, das mesmas estações e pessoal - numa cooperação perfeita. Na fotografia superior veem-se passageiros a subirem para um combóio que do sul se dirige a Londres. Os passageiros diários podem comprar assinaturas a preços mais baixos. A guerra total fez com que prácticamente tôda a gente que vive no campo tenha de trabalhar e os bombardementos violentos levaram muitas pessoas a transferirem a sua residência para o campo. Organisação perfeita, cooperação, entusiásmo e vontade de bem servir, fizeram com que os transportes públicos de Londres e os caminhos de ferro se elevassem á altura das exigências.

War workers arriving in the early morning at Waterloo Station. London's transport. No. 3. To the outskirts by electric train. Buses and Underground railways feed the main- line stations from which suburban services operate. These rapid and reliable transport services between central London and the outlying districts make it possible for people who work in London to live in the semi-country 15 or 20 miles away. Often, Underground Railway trains and electrified main-line trains operate over the same lines, sharing stations and station personnel - co-operation is complete. The big picture above shows passengers boarding a Southern Railway train for London. Regular travellers can buy season tickets at special, cheaper rates, and are thus able to travel quickly and cheaply between home and office. Total war put practically everyone in the country to work, heavy bombing persuaded many to move out to the suburbs, but sound planning, whole-hearted co-operation and enthusiasm for the job enabled the London Passenger Transport Board and the railways to meet the demand. For victory. The Press and Information Service of the British Embassy.]
