This print captures a poignant moment in time at West Jesmond Station on 12th March, 1978. In the wake of the closure of the underpass, a man and a young child are seen illegally crossing the railway line. The image is a stark reminder of how transportation infrastructure changes can impact daily life. The composition showcases various elements related to transport and railways. The station platform stands as a silent witness to this daring act, while signals in the background indicate an active train route. The mixed age range of the two individuals emphasizes their vulnerability amidst this risky journey. Transportation has always played a crucial role in our lives, connecting people and places. This photograph serves as a powerful visual representation of public transport's significance during that era.
