100 Years of Women in Transport

Campaign The 100 years of women in transport campaign (YOWIT) is a celebration of the significant role that women have played in the transport industry over the past 100 years in the United Kingdom, following the centennial anniversary of the First World War, when 100,000 women entered the transport industry to take on the responsibilities held by men who enlisted for military service.https://www.theguardian.com/public-leaders-network/2014/nov/08/world-war-women-workplace-public-services Women in wartime: the rise of the female public servant Sarah Dawood the Guardian 8 November 2014http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/assets/downloads/pdfs/Yearbook_2014-15_optimised.pdf Yearbook 2014–2015 London Transport Museum 22 October 2015 4 March 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304064314/http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/assets/downloads/pdfs/Yearbook_2014-15_optimised.pdf dead http://www.infrastructure-intelligence.com/article/jun-2014/first-100-years-women-transport The first 100 years of women in transport Infrastructure Intelligence The programme is a partnership between Transport for London, the Department for Transport (DfT), Crossrail,http://www.crossrail.co.uk/news/articles/crossrail-partners-with-women-into-construction https://web.archive.org/web/20151102190552/http://www.crossrail.co.uk/news/articles/crossrail-partners-with-women-into-construction dead 2 November 2015 Crossrail partners with Women into Construction Crossrail Network Rail,http://www.networkrail.co.uk/Digital_Archive_Blog.aspx?id=30064794570&blogid=30064773519&author=Vicky Network Rail - networkrail.co.ukhttp://www.onemk.co.uk/news/2015/6/network-rail-senior-manager-shares-experiences-26767427.html NETWORK RAIL: Senior manager shares her experiences to celebrate 100 years of women in transport MK News 3 November 2015 25 March 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200325003059/https://www.inyourarea.co.uk// dead Women's Engineering Society (WES)http://www.wes.org.uk/100yowit 100 Years of Women in Transport wes.org.uk 14 October 2015 14 May 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170514234829/http://www.wes.org.uk/100yowit dead and the Women’s Transportation Seminar London Chapter (WTS) now known as Women in Transport.https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/100-years-of-women-in-transport 100 Years of Women in Transport Transport for London tfl.gov.uk 14 October 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20160119235035/https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/100-years-of-women-in-transport 19 January 2016 dead dmy-allhttps://www.london.gov.uk/get-involved/events/100-years-of-women-in-transport 100 Years of Women in Transport london.gov.uk 14 October 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151005165301/http://www.london.gov.uk/get-involved/events/100-years-of-women-in-transport 5 October 2015 dead dmy-all In 2015, the campaign raised awareness to the low representation of females in this industryhttp://www.transporttimes.co.uk/news.php/MORE-WOMEN-ARE-NEEDED-TO-JOIN-OUR-INDUSTRY-64/ Transport Times Events - News/Blog - MORE WOMEN ARE NEEDED TO JOIN OUR INDUSTRY transporttimes.co.uk by commemorating the 100 years of Maida Vale tube station (the first to be fully staffed by women),http://www.itv.com/news/london/2015-06-06/maida-vale-station-marks-100th-anniversary/ Maida Vale station marks 100th anniversary ITV News 6 June 2015 and holding a debate competition between year 9 students from 30 schools across the UK with engineering and construction company, Bechtel.
