Hi everyone

I'm visiting from the U.S. and I actually work
for the NY Transit Authority (NYC's Bus & Subways)

I would like to hear about any suggested stations, sites,
musuems that are of historical, technical, etc. significance!!

Does London have a musuem specifically about the Tube and its history??


Since no-one else has mentioned it, you can't but miss the relatively
new (compared to London!) Tyne & Wear Metro system, serving Newcastle,
Gateshead, South Shields & Sunderland:
