EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from 1911 showcases a revolutionary proposed transportation system in London - the never-stop train. The diagram depicts electric cars mounted on tubular shafts along a continuous route, offering rapid and continuous travel for passengers throughout the city.
The innovative design by Adkins Lewis presents a new way of thinking about railway systems, with trains that never stop at traditional stations but instead glide seamlessly through tunnels and stations along the tubeway. This ambitious project aimed to provide a more efficient and convenient mode of transport for Londoners in the early 20th century.
The intricate details of the diagram reveal a deep level of planning and engineering expertise, highlighting the complexity of implementing such a groundbreaking system. The proposed route would have transformed the way people traveled within the bustling metropolis, offering a glimpse into what could have been an exciting future for urban transportation.
Although this never-stop train system may not have come to fruition, it serves as a reminder of how forward-thinking ideas can shape our cities and influence future developments in public transport. This historical artifact captures an era of innovation and progress, showcasing London's potential for embracing cutting-edge technology in its quest to improve connectivity and mobility for its residents.
