This isn't strictly a London matter, but it could be I
suppose!
I'm looking for an online resource where I can learn the
basics of transport science.

What exactly is "transport science"? I can think of all
kinds of different disciplines that are relevant to
transport -- engineering, physics, mathematics, economics,
etc etc, but I am not aware of anything called transport
science. What is it?

A catch all term for the subjects you've just mentioned.


Thanks for your earlier reply BTW - I took a look at the
site you mentioned but as a beginner it was a bit advanced
for my purposes. I appreciate the information though. I was
thinking mainly of the ways that transport flows are
studied and controlled, how they work (e.g. how traffic
flows around cities or pedestrians around stations), an
introduction to how they are modelled, those sort of ideas
if you can understand what I'm after (although with very
little knowledge of the area to begin with, it's difficult
to define).

OK, try here, http://www.tps.org.uk/

That's excellent, thanks.
