Hi

Is the transport museum ( I think its in Covent garden ) any good, any

info
about what is there etc would be appreciated.


Yes, it's excellent. They have a selection of trams, buses and tube

trains,
as well as galleries devoted to the building of the tube and cut-and-cover
Underground lines, the design of tram tracks and junctions, signalling,
lifts/escalators etc. THey even have a steam loco that operated the
Quainton-Brill tramway


I certainly enjoyed my visit there. Without wishing to be lazy and merely
post links, you can see more information on the collections and specific
exhibitions on the website-- http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/ with
http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/index.html particularly relevant to
your question.

Not sure what the entrance fee is. Some museums are free nowadays, but I'm
not sure whether the LT museum is one of them.


http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visiting/index.html should help. Including
http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visiting/admission.html for details of admission
charges.

HTH,

Tom
