Activities of London Transport Tube Refreshments Committee

During the Christmas season, almost 800 London Passenger Transport Board staff worked to create celebratory meals for people staying in all-night shelters. The article outlines the design and manufacture of equipment, railway depots converted into food depots, and the nightly food drops of the Tube Refreshment Special. “So off we went, as far as Liverpool Street, at every station leaving buns and cakes, Cornish pasties and apple turnovers, packets of tea and cocoa, and sausages and pies that at night are put into ovens on the platforms.”
