Train & Public Transport in London - 1941 British Council Film Collection - CharlieDeanArchives
According to : “Not only did the Tube help 200,000 inner-city children escape to the country, it was also used to shelter hundreds of thousands of civilians every night during the Blitz. On 27 September 1940 a census found that a staggering 177,500 Londoners were sleeping in Tube train stations. With so many people seeking shelter in the Tube, London Underground sprang into action and installed 22,000 bunk beds, washroom facilities and even ran trains that supplied seven tonnes of food and 2,400 gallons of tea and cocoa every night. Before long there were even special stations with libraries, evening classes, movies and musical evenings.“
The film states that 10 million people used public transport in London. Today, that figure stands at around 8.6 million.
The opening title cards state that this film began filming just as the London Blitz began, yet there is very little visual reference to this.
This film has been made available by the British Council Film Collection
