EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the London transport recruitment drive for female bus conductors during World War II. With men being called up for national service, the transportation system faced significant employment shortages. In response, the London transport authorities launched an ambitious campaign to recruit women to fill the roles of bus conductors. The image shows a group of determined women, dressed in their smart new uniforms, gathered around a recruitment poster. The poster itself is prominently displayed, featuring an illustration of a female conductor in action, decked out in her uniform and cap, and the caption "Join the London Transport Service - Women Conductors Wanted." The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and determination, as the women discuss the practicalities of their new roles and the responsibilities they will undertake. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the crucial contributions made by women on the homefront during wartime, as they stepped up to take on traditionally male-dominated roles and kept the city moving. The photograph, taken in 1940, is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the London transport system during a time of crisis. It also highlights the important role that women played in keeping the city connected during the turbulent years of World War II.
