This series contains staff registers for London County Council Tramways and a complete index of drivers, motormen and conductors. The registers contain details of staff appointed prior to the formation of London County Council (LCC) Tramways in 1896 as the company bought up existing private horse and cable-car companies between 1896 and 1909 with a view to electrification. The registers cover the period during which electric tramcars were gradually being introduced to replace horse-drawn trams (the first LCC electric tramcar was introduced in 1901 and the last LCC horse car was withdrawn in 1915). Until 1908 when the Kingsway Subway under the River Thames was fully opened, the LCC Tramways system consisted of two physically separate systems - the North Side and the South Side. For most purposes the system continued to operate as North and South Side for many years. Contrary to the titles, these volumes contain details of staff working on trams on the system south of the river. In 1920 the registers were superseded by a card index.
This series contains agreements between the London County Council Tramways Chief Officer and the conductors of tramway cars or omnibuses of the Council, consecutively numbered as required. Each contract occupies one leaf of each volume and applies to one member of staff. Geenrally the only variable elements are the employee's name, starting date, and the signatures. The employee's badge number is usually written at the top of the contract. The contracts are pre-printed with gaps for the changeable elements, which are written in manuscript.

During WWI, the staff magazine (TOT) was largely given over to letters received from staff serving overseas. In 2018, the Archives embarked on a project to create audio files of these letters. This folder contains both the printed and spoken versions of those letters. Please be aware that some of the language and terminology used in the letters is outdated and could cause offence. TfL Corporate Archives does not condone the use of such language but cannot censor history and therefore the letters are made available without redaction or interpretation.
