SUMMARY:London Group - Slow Train to Arcadia (Duncan Gager)
DESCRIPTION:A History of Railway Commuting into London\n\nRailway commuting
  is today a mundane and routine necessity\, yet for the Victorians it was 
 a novel experience. It opened up new possibilities of living at a remove f
 rom the crowded urban centre while staying connected to its places of work
 . Commuting helped transform London’s urban landscape\, as the compact c
 ity of Dickens’s London gave way to the suburban sprawl of the British c
 apital in the early twentieth century.\n\nWhile the railway age came quick
 ly to Victorian Britain\, commuting took a slower journey to commonplace s
 tatus. In the 1840s William Gladstone sought to make railway travel access
 ible to all\, but commuting was experienced differently according to class
  and gender.\n\nDuncan Gager is associate fellow at the Institute of Histo
 rical Research\, University of London.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThe Alan Baxter Galle
 ry is a five-minute walk from Farringdon Station. Turn right on exit of th
 e Elizabeth Line station and follow the road round to the right (Cowcross 
 Street). No 75 The Gallery is on the right-hand side.\n\nMembers of other 
 Groups and visitors are welcome to meetings.\nA voluntary contribution is 
 requested of £3.00\n\nPlease email the secretary Richard Lasson londongr
 oupsecretary@rchs.org.uk with any queries.
