CAPITAL , Campaign to Protect and Improve Transport in London

Set up in 1983, the Capital Transport Campaign consisted 'of those who use public transport, those who work on it and those who are concerned about its future' (CAPITAL pamphlet, 'Never Again', 1990). Its focus was to campaign for safe, affordable and adequately funded public transport in London, speaking out on behalf of passengers, and monitoring and reporting on issues such as fare levels, crowding on the Underground, bus services and staffing problems.

CAPITAL's (Campaign to Protect and Improve Transport in London) main activities revolved around the lobbying of members of Parliament, the production and support of research, reports and conferences concerning changes to public transport, and the advertising and publicising of the impacts of new laws and regulations on London's trains and buses.

CAPITAL originally received funding and grants from the Greater London Council. However, after the abolition of the Greater London Council in 1986, CAPITAL was forced to find funding from subscriptions, sales, affiliation fees, trades union support, and local authority grants. It was, however, due to these uncertain and unsustainable funding sources that CAPITAL was forced to shut its doors in January, 2006. It remains a virtual group operating through email and online newsletters under the name of 'Friends of the Capital Transport Campaign'.

Deposited in 2006 and 2012.
