EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the deserted railway track at Stratford during the Great Railway Strike of September 1919. The station came to a standstill in the last two weeks of that month, as railway workers across the country walked out in protest against wage cuts and poor working conditions. The initial shock of the strike was felt deeply, as the railways were the primary mode of transport for goods and passengers. However, as the days passed, companies began to adapt. In the fourth week of September, lorries were brought in to transport goods, providing an alternative to the railway. This move, which proved to be a turning point in the strike, had a detrimental effect on the railways. Companies began to realize that they could bypass the railways and transport their goods by road instead. The image of the deserted railway track at Stratford serves as a poignant reminder of this pivotal moment in transport history. The Great Railway Strike of 1919 lasted for 21 weeks, marking the end of the railways' monopoly on freight transport. This photograph, taken in October of that year, shows the station still deserted, with no sign of the hustle and bustle that had once defined it.
