In this episode we conclude our look at London’s Transport in the 1930s with a look at the legacy of this era and a glance at what occurred following the Second World War.

Part of the research for this episode stems from work written by Simon in pursuit of their MA in Railway Studies from the University of York, so an acknowledgement of the support from Dr David Turner in writing that essay is also due.
