1919: Proposed Extensions of Transport Links into London - A Diagram of Transportation in Greater and Central London and the Commuting Routes of Passengers This diagram from 1919 offers a unique insight into the transportation network of London during a pivotal moment in its history. The map, produced by the Ministry of Transport, illustrates the movement of commuters from the outer boroughs to Central London using various transport modes, including buses, vehicles, trains, and the underground. The intricate lines and color-coded key represent the proposed extensions and improvements to transport links, aimed at increasing capacity and accommodating the growing population and workforce. The diagram reveals the extensive commuting routes from the south, east, and west, with passengers traveling to Central London during the rush hours. The existing railway lines crisscross the city, while the proposed extensions, such as the Northern Heights Extension and the extension of the Piccadilly line, are indicated by dotted lines. The underground network, represented by the tubes, is shown expanding with new lines and stations. The diagram also highlights the importance of buses and vehicles in the transportation system, with proposed improvements to their capacity and routes. The double-page spread offers a comprehensive view of the transport infrastructure, demonstrating the Ministry's commitment to improving the transportation network and accommodating the needs of the expanding city. This fascinating diagram serves as a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the transportation planners of the time, who anticipated the demands of a growing population and worked tirelessly to ensure that London remained a connected and accessible city.
