In the depot

I finally made it to one of the London Transport Museum’s twice-early weekend openings at their Acton depot. where they store the buses, trams and train carriages they can’t exhibit in Covent Garden.

It was brilliant. If you like that kind of thing.

(I wouldn’t like to say the event attracts a certain type, but these were the longest queues for the gents I’ve ever seen outside a football ground.)

I could have spent hours browsing the specialist books for sale, while the kids loved the model railways.

The following pictures are via @callyorange. And go to the next one in September.

  1. What a great place. Thanks for reminding me. And btw I usually queue in the ladies. 🙂

  2. Sir,

    Is it terribly expensive to visit their open day? In particular I wonder whether my one-year ticket for the main museum would get me in. One feels that it would be nice if it did.
