No. 24. Set by Elk
P
hilip Bagwell died aged 92 recently. He was a
prolific writer, concentrating on transport
and labour history. His first book, The
Railwaymen (1963), was a history of the NUR,
with a sequel published nearly 20 years later.
Philip wrote widely on what he regarded as
shortsighted transport policies and produced
several works explaining why. The Transport
Revolution (1974) being the best known; a new
edition appeared in 1988. His book, The
Transport Crisis in Britain (1996), was widely
praised and reviewed in RMT News but largely
ignored by politicians.
Philip regularly contributed articles for the
union journal and was writing on the need for
public transport in order to combat global
warming when he passed away.
He also wrote a
biography of his father, also
named Philip, with his sister
Joan Lawley. Philip Bagwell
senior was a conscientious objector imprisoned
from 1916 to 1919 and an active Christian.
Starting as a schoolteacher, Philip was
appointed to the Regent Street Polytechnic in
1951, remaining on the staff until 1977 and
continuing part time for another decade. He also
wrote a history of the West London Methodist
mission, Outcast London. His last book, co-
authored with Peter Lyth, was published in 2002.
Philip was happily married for more than 50
years to Rosemary Olney. They had three
children, two of whom, with their mother,
survive him.
