EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in British Rail's history. It was on the 7th of October 1974 when British Rail made a bold decision, emphasizing that honesty is indeed the best policy. In response to an ongoing dispute with fare collectors, they introduced these intriguing honesty boxes at Newcastle Central Station. The image showcases two individuals standing near the station barriers, their ages unknown but their presence impactful. The sign attached to the honesty box catches our attention as it reads "Two people only". This simple yet powerful message reminds passengers of the importance of integrity during their journey. Transportation plays a vital role in connecting communities, and this photograph captures a unique chapter where trust became paramount. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how public transport shapes our daily lives and interactions. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully preserved this piece of history for us to reflect upon. Let this image transport you back to the bustling platform of Newcastle Central Station in the 1970s – a testament to British Rail's commitment towards transparency amidst challenging times.
