Queue Town -- The Queue that Puts Years on The Queuers: When shops and offices close several hundred thousands have to get home by bus or underground. Here is the crushing queue outside the Oxford circus underground station. Were it not for the good sense and well-bred patience of the Londoner such queues as these would create accidents every hour at every station. In fact, however, all goes well; one policeman at the gate just jungle instincts and gently filter into the tube. November 27, 1951. (Photo by Camera Press).
