[edit] Herbert Morrison

Herbert Morrison was not Minister of Transport in 1933, so something is wrong here. Adam 02:35, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Adam.. you´re right about Herbert.M. But he was Transport Minister until 1931 and responsible for the Act of Parliament creating London Transport. Maybe the text should be amended ?? Greetings from Berlin IsarSteve 11:53, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] London Transport

I find this article infuriating! It has the heading London Transport - the name never actually given to any organisation controlling the capital's transport - and then it skates through fifteen years hardly mentioning what the LPTB was or did; it then says "nationalised in 1948" without saying that it was separate from the other rail-based organisations; and then virtually ignores further other changes until it reaches Transport for London (ignoring the fact of a comprehensive article there). It is almost as if there isn't any worthwhile history in between!

Which explains why I have done something about it!!! Peter Shearan 13:44, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
well done Peter!IsarSteve 16:41, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
