London Transport Museum...

Last Friday David and I went to the London Transport Museum in London's glitzy Covent Garden.

Steam trains, omnibuses, taxis and tube trains - there was lots to see and do. It was an entertainment and an education. Who knew the London Underground network used to go out as far as Southend-on-Sea?

Also just opening was a new exhibition: 150 years of London Underground poster - which was worth the price of the ticket alone. If you're ever at a loose end in town and you like that sort of thing - go!
