Straphangers and Tubes

Two days before my Dad came, Rachel and I decided to do something that we always wanted to do, go to the London Transport Museum. Being Urban Studies majors, with an interest in city planning, a museum like this was a great experience. Here are some photos from our trip:

The first public transport systems in London were these carriages pulled by horses. This is one of the earliest "double deckers."

At the start of "our trip through time," they gave us a "ticket" which we "had" to get it stamped at these "stations."

Me hanging onto a straphanger (the offical name of those things that hang down from buses, trains, etc.) in a old tube car.

Some cool map showing the Piccadilly line, northern and Bakerloo (I think).

A sweet tube advertisement that I will probably get a poster of.

Attempting to drive a underground train (its harder than it looks!).

Well, that was a quick summary of our URBS museum trip. Next, Edinburgh!
