    Morning All,

    As I expect many of you will know, the London Bus Museum has moved from its site at Cobham in Surrey to a bigger and more accessible location on the nearby Brooklands Museum site at Weybridge. The move took place earlier this year and they held their first open day last Sunday. I went along to have a look, and I wasn't disappointed!

    Some of the pictures that I took are now on my Flickr site and if anyone is interested to see them, here is the link; they are in the Set entitled 'London Bus Museum' :

    Hope that they are of interest. More will be added as time permits.

    I work for one of the companies on the Brookland business park. I can thoroughly recommend the Brooklands Museum.

    Cars, bikes, bicycles, aircraft, Concorde and now buses. A great visit. Lots of remarkable and famous exhibits, well displayed.

    Sadly, no railway stuff that I've ever seen though.

    Indeed you must. And to tempt you even more, I have now added the rest of my pictures to Flickr. These include the original RT, RT1 and the original Routemaster, RM1.

    They are in the 'Stop Press!' Collection for new pictures; see the Set dated 28th October : http://www.flickr.com/photos/train-pix/collections/72157627090322278/

    They'll be there for about a month or so, but they are also in the 'London Bus Museum' Set along with the others : http://www.flickr.com/photos/train-pix/collections/72157626322261514/
