  • The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is well known, but it also has a working museum depot that opens just a couple of times a year down at Acton Town - we went along on one of its open days to see what was there!

    I have visited the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden in 2004, 2008 and 2012. I enjoyed my visit each time, and really recommend it to anyone going to London!

    I've been to the Depot a few times for their opening days, such a lovely array of stock, buses etc, it's a joy to stroll round.

    The Acton Depot makes Covent Garden's transport museum look poorly equipped. Wow, amazing!

    Having just joined the Miniature Railway, I am aware that the next one is on the 10th and 11th March 2012. Looking forward to it. When I started, we went in the Depot to get some stock.The depot looks great, I only saw a small bit!

    So they made the RTW 6" wider than an RT and the police weren't happy. Curious to know how wide are Londons buses nowadays.
