Colour transparency; passengers waiting on a snow-covered platform at Finchley Central, 1981

This photo was taken in December 1981. This was one of the coldest December of the century in Britain. Temperatures fell to a low of -25° Centigrade. The picture was taken on the platform of Finchley Central station. Passengers are sheltering from the snow under umbrellas. A 1972 Stock train is waiting to depart from the opposite platform. The low temperatures and snow caused many delays and cancelled services in London Transport.
