In this print titled "One man decides to sit down on the platform as homeward bound crowds await their train" captured by Peter Stone in Liverpool Street Station, London on 18th April 1972, we are transported back to the bustling rush hour of the 1970s. As weary commuters eagerly wait for their trains, one man stands out from the crowd with his decision to take a seat on the platform. The image perfectly encapsulates the expressions and emotions of those present during this chaotic time.
