Transport
This is a reference page primarily about public transport in London.
Much of which is run by Transport for London but there are railways and
boat services also.
Here are transport maps, live boards etc. for getting around London:
Here
are some links to sources that I find particularly interesting about current
developments in public transport as well as historical information:
- 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
