Twin sisters, 😶Alison & Margaret Ruthven 1923

According to Cecil Beaton, in his The Book of Beauty: "The Ruthven Twins are the most striking pair. Richly carved with large full mouths, high cheek bones, and knobbly noses,they are as decorative as a pair of Assyrian rams." ImageImage

The Never-Stop Railway was a step-on, step-off method where people walked slowly onto moving carriages that went around the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley 1925.
These railway carriages never stopped at platforms, but passed by slowly enough for people to hop on and off.
This railway consisted of 88 unmanned carriages, on a continuous double track along the northern and eastern sides of the exhibition.
Diagram showing step-on, step-off method. The system was entirely automatic without locomotive driver or guard, with a high carrying capacity.
The carriages never stop and passengers are expected to hop off while it is still in motion. The lack of stopping meant the railway was able to gain greater speeds than the trains running on the London Underground at the time.
