Reference number	1998/89466
Description	Interior of Piccadilly Railway 1906/7 gate-tube stock trailer car no 243. An open plan compartment, with both longitudinal and transverse woven-cane rattan seating. The line diagram on the bulkhead, midground centre, shows both the-then extent of the line and several now-closed stations. The provision of lights and handgrabs appears to be rather sparse.
