EDITORS COMMENTS
In May 1926, the streets of Regents Street in London became a bustling hub of activity as the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) set up a temporary recruiting office to enlist volunteers for bus-driving duties. The country was in the midst of a major transport strike, which had left London's streets devoid of the usual bustle of buses and taxis. The LGOC, in an effort to keep the city moving, turned to the public for help. The photograph captures the scene outside the recruiting office, with a long queue of volunteers eagerly waiting their turn to enroll. Dressed in their best Sunday clothes, the men and women in the queue exude a sense of determination and resolve. Some clutch papers or notebooks, no doubt containing their application forms, while others chat animatedly with those around them. The recruiting office itself is a simple affair, with a few tables and chairs set up under a makeshift canopy. Recruiters can be seen processing applications and handing out forms to the next person in line. The atmosphere is one of urgency and purpose, as Londoners answered the call to help keep their city moving during this time of crisis. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a snapshot of life in London during the 1920s and the spirit of community and resilience that emerged during times of hardship. It also highlights the important role that public transportation played in the daily lives of Londoners and the vital role that bus drivers played in keeping the city connected. This photograph is a valuable historical record, offering insights into a significant moment in London's transport history and the spirit of volunteerism that defined the era. It is a reminder of the power of community and the importance of coming together to overcome challenges, a message that remains relevant today.
