The London Transport Museum has launched a fundraising campaign to restore the last of the 'Q stock' underground carriages, originally in service from the 1930s to 1970s. The project aims to revitalize these historical pieces by reupholstering their seats in traditional moquette material. The restoration will focus on representing different time periods of London life, including wartime, post-war austerity, and the prosperity of the 1950s. The museum is examining extensive historical archives to ensure authentic seating designs, with a fundraising goal of £30,000 from the public to complete the project.
The London Transport Museum is appealing for £30,000 to restore the last remaining 'Q stock' underground carriages, focusing on historical accuracy and public engagement.
The restoration will include reupholstering seats in the iconic moquette fabric, reflecting different eras in the carriages' history while preserving their legacy for future generations.
