EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a piece of history from the late 20th century - a Platform Ticket issued by British Rail at Victoria Station in London. This ticket entitles the purchaser to access the platform of their choice, but not to travel on a train. It is a reminder of a time when train travel was an essential mode of transport for many people.
The design and details of this ticket offer insight into the historical practices of British Rail and the importance placed on regulating access to platforms. The intricate typography and official stamping add to its authenticity as a relic from another era.
As we look at this image, we are transported back in time to bustling railway stations, where passengers hurriedly made their way to catch trains bound for various destinations. The platform ticket served as both a practical tool for managing crowds and ensuring safety, as well as a memento for those who passed through its gates.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library, we can now appreciate this piece of transportation history preserved in print form. It serves as a tangible link to our past and reminds us of how far we have come in terms of modern transportation systems.
