<p>The New Works Programme of 1935–1940 was the major investment programme delivered by the <a href="/facts/London_Passenger_Transport_Board/Hskt4YPv">London Passenger Transport Board</a> (LPTB), commonly known as London Transport, which had been created in 1933 to coordinate underground train, <a href="/facts/Trams_in_London/Tp4N2DDd">tram</a>, <a href="/facts/Trolleybus/R6tJDlEW">trolleybus</a> and <a href="/facts/Bus/AgUM7Tab">bus</a> services in the capital and the surrounding areas. The programme was to develop many aspects of the public transport services run by the LPTB and the suburban rail services of the <a href="/facts/Great_Western_Railway/dFDmbH3d">Great Western Railway</a> (GWR) and <a href="/facts/London_and_North_Eastern_Railway/qaUHjSjX">London and North Eastern Railway</a> (LNER). The investment was largely backed by government assistance as well as by the issuing of financial bonds and was estimated to cost £42,286,000 in 1936 (approximately £3.63 billion today).
