But do they take Oyster?

Aha - indeed, what was I thinking, failing to even consider such a
crucial question! Would there be capping for multiple visits on one
day? What about a zone system so one could just visit the galleries
you wanted to visit? Is this where zones A-D are being redeployed to
in the new year?!

Would one get an unresolved journey if one left still feeling
unenlightened, or would that only occur if one exited the museum via
the loo windows and hence failed to touch-out? And when using Oyster
PAYG would one not be allowed to view any of the displays that
contained information about non-LU railways aka National Rail, unless
one bought at the least a weekly season ticket to the museum?

I hope so, because then they would also take my Freedom Pass - wouldn't
they?

Has anyone been to the London Transport Museum since it re-opened?

I'm having an unusually long period of Not Being In London and won't be
able to visit until Wednesday. I wonder if anyone has any positive (or
otherwise!) Things to say about what we have to see for two years of
closure?

Not yet. I haven't even managed to get to the shop this week. I've not
had any feedback one way or the other as to how good or bad the museum
is.

I am tasked with organizing a visit for members of another usenet group
who wish to visit it. That won't be until the New Year.

And I suppose the question needs to be asked, what of those of us jammy
enough to possess a staff pass?

You may think you're joking, but at the New York Transit Museum --
possibly back when it was called the Transit Exhibit -- they used to
take subway tokens for admission.

You get in for nothing - just as before. I don't think any other
reductions are possible for people accompanying a member of staff
(unless they hold a dependent pass).

Indeed. I have a rather wonderful tie pin with a NYC token on it
purchased from the Transit Museum. Is it still in Brooklyn or has it
moved?

Most of the people who have seen it have been disappointed.

How do you know?

Yes the old shop staff were rather more interested listening to their
Abba, Kylie Minogue and Banaramana CDs.

Is it true there are now only 4 buses left inside? More room for taxis
and sedan chairs perhaps rather than an RT-family type which was
familiar for 50-odd years? (But is no doubt deemed to look the "same"
as an RM.)

Ominously the Evening Standard praised the LTM as having lost its
"anorak" atmosphere so I for one fear the worst!

I hope it's not all hands-on/activity kid's stuff, "world cities" and
"inclusion" etc....
