Transport
Especially in the London area. Here are some sources that I find
particularly interesting
- London
Reconnections A site about London Transport which aims to provide a
bit of depth where sometimes it is lacking. "To cover topics that maybe
haven’t got the level of attention yet that they may deserve. To layout
and explain the facts when we know and understand them, and to provide a
framework within which our excellent commentors can when we can’t.
We also write to highlight some of the history and hidden areas of interest
to be found in London’s transport infrastructure as well.".
- TFL

this corporate memory of Transport for London and its predecessor companies.

Visits Ian certainly visits places of interest, and is a wealth of information
about transport issues/developments in London
- London Railway Atlas by Joe Brown, Ian Allan Publishing.
A painstakingly executed detailed atlas showing the locations of
Londons railways past and present, including dates and alternative
names for stations. Could pore over this for hours.
