Alan Payling was a bus driver for London Transport during the 1980's, based at Stamford Hill Bus Garage. In 1981/82, Payling was on the branch committee of Stamford Hill Bus Garage trade union, TGWU Branch 1/312, responsible for "Education and Information" and appointed a "Fare Fight Delegate" (ACC/3029/7). He was responsible for the distribution and reception of various trade union, transport and local community leaflets and magazines.

The Public Transport Workers Jobs Campaign (Leaside District) ran a printing workshop and resource centre which were used by individual trade union branches such as Finsbury Park NUR and Wood Green ASLEF (see annual report 1985/86 (ACC/3029/17)). The resource centre held material necessary to those campaigning in the transport industry and included GLC, LRT and TGWU material.

The Busworker group began as part of the campaign against one person operation of buses (OPO) in 1982/83. It derived partly from the LT worker group which was set up in 1982 to fight the proposed loss of jobs/services after the "Fares Fair" campaign. The Transport Worker (which incorporated Busworker Monthly) was a joint rail and bus newsletter for the dissemination of trade union information to all sections of London Transport. Alan Payling was on the editorial board of Transport Worker.

Records deposited in March 1992.

Records of Alan Payling relating to the London Transport Workers Union. Papers in this collection cover three main areas of interest, Stamford Hill Bus Garage, TGWU Branch 1/312, Public Transport Workers Jobs Campaign (Leaside District) and trade union publications such as Busworker and Transport Worker. The main archival interest of the collection are the branch resolutions of Stamford Hill Bus Garage, TGWU Branch 1/312.

50% of the material deposited was weeded since it was duplicate material or available elsewhere.

The branch resolutions of the Stamford Hill Bus Garage are mostly undated and were found together with miscellaneous notes, occasional correspondence, magazine articles and ephemera (mainly leaflets and handbills). The papers have been left in the context in which they were found and have been sorted into folders but are not necessarily in chronological order within each folder.

It is difficult to delineate between the main areas of interest from the papers deposited. Records have been arranged under the following four headings: Trade Union Papers ACC/3029/01-14; Newsletters and Publicity ACC/3029/15-28; Transport Action Groups ACC/3029/29-35; Resource/Reference material ACC/3029/36-42.

These records are open to public inspection, although records containing personal information may be subject to closure periods.

Copyright to these records rests with the depositor.
