Photograph of a brass band in a London street, 13 December 2001, during a New Orleans-style jazz funeral stunt to campaign for the end of a private railway

One colour print photograph (4 x 6 inches), photographer unknown, depicting a stunt on 13 December 2001 organised by Transport 2000 in collaboration with members of Friends of the Earth, the Association of Community Rail Partnerships, and others, with campaigners proceeding from Victoria Station to a meeting with the Secretary of State for Transport, Stephen Byers, at the offices of the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions in Bressenden Place. The image depicts three jazz band members, one snare drummer, one bass drummer, and one trumpet player, behind a coffin with the words "Private Rail R.I.P." written in white paint on the side. A drum major holding a red parasol stands behind the musicians. In the background, a London street is visible.
