	London's Transport Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		London's Transport Museum, formerly known as the London Transport Museum, is a museum which seeks to conserve and explain the transport heritage of London, the capital city of the United Kingdom.
		The main museum is located in the Covent Garden tourist precinct in central London, in a large building built in 1872 and formerly used as part of the Covent Garden Flower Market.
		It was originally known as the 'London Transport Museum' and concentrated on the heritage of London Transport, the organisation that then ran underground railways and buses in the city.

		Now the butt of stand-up comedians’ jokes for scruffiness and inefficiency, in the 1930s the London Transport network of underground trains, buses and trams was regarded as the world’s most progressive public transport system and a role model of enlightened corporate patronage of contemporary art and design.
		Many of the most famous examples of London Transport design were commissioned by Frank Pick (1878-1941), a Lincolnshire-born solicitor, who joined the Underground Group in 1906 and became managing director of the LPTB in 1933.
		The foundation of London Transport as a new entity in 1933 coupled with the expansion of its network, notably the extension of the Piccadilly Line, offered a rich opportunity for Frank Pick and his team to embark on an ambitious programme of construction and reconstruction of stations, ticket offices and termini.

	Welcome to John Braga's Bus Preservation Site
		London's RT and RM buses are perhaps the best ever designed, and are magnificently engineered with an immense care for detail.
		The London fleet was supported by a superb facility at Aldenham which kept buses in smart condition.
		Because the driver's seat is attached to the body of the vehicle, and the steering wheel is part of the chassis, a good deal of movement is felt as the body sways or the wheels hit a pothole, and my initial impression was that the chassis and body were about to part company.
