Uniforms for Railwaymen

To-day, clothing the railwayman is a serious business, and at Home great care is taken to ensure that every worker entitled to uniform is provided with a well-fitting outfit that will do himself and his line the utmost credit. A single Home railway, like the London and North Eastern, supplies uniform clothing for over 109,000 workers, embracing the traffic, engineering, locomotive, and hotels departments. Each year 700,000 yards of cloth go into the making of L. and N.E.R. uniforms. There are five clothing distributing centres on the system, and each year there are two issues of clothing—one in spring and one in autumn.
