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


I went into the shop. Not impressed , lots of tourist tat but no books
at all, not even about the tube , never mind general railway books
like they used to have. Theres definately been a dumbing down.

Did you go upstairs in the new shop? The enthusiast type stuff,
including at least four rows of back to back shelving full of books is
up there.

The main staircase is to the right as you enter the museum. If you are
on the ground floor of the shop there is an extra staircase at the very
back on the right - by the EFE Bus models.
