London Transport Executive - Creation

Creation

On 1 January 1948, under the provisions of the Transport Act 1947, the London Passenger Transport Board was nationalised and renamed the London Transport Executive, becoming a subsidiary organisation of the British Transport Commission, which was formed on the same day. Another subsidiary of the Commission was the Railway Executive (which traded as British Railways), which meant that London Transport and the main-line railways were under the same management for the first and last time in their respective histories.

Famous quotes containing the word creation:

    The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    She sings as the moon sings:
    “I am I, am I;
    The greater grows my lift
    The further that I fly.”
    All creation shivers
    With that sweet cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A fact is the end or last issue of spirit. The visible creation is the terminus or the circumference of the invisible world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
