    Text
    On New Year's Day, the Railways, together with their Docks, Hotels, Road and Steamship Services, London Transport, and the canals of Great Britain, pass into public ownership. To mark the occasion, the Minister of Transport has asked us to convey the following message to the public and to the staffs: 'I send best wishes for the new era in transport. Let us remember the past with gratitude for its great tradition of high standards of service, and greet the future with confidence and goodwill. May British Transport continue to contribute to the prosperity and welfare of those who use it, and give pride and pleasure to all who are engaged in its service.' The British Transport Commission offer their own greetings and good wishes to all members of the staffs and to the public for whom the services are run. Cyril Hurcomb Chairman 1st January, 1948
