London's Transport Museum March 2008
London's Transport Museum has recently been refurbished and revamped with the result reopening in November 2007. Unfortunately for tram enthusiasts we are now down to just the two trams with the horse tram and West Ham 102 remaining at the Covent Garden site - the other two trams, including the Feltham, have now been consigned to the Museum Depot at Acton. On the next couple of pages we have six tram and light rail related shots from the Museum. Don't forget you can access the different pages of the gallery through links at both the top and bottom of the page.

Relocated onto the 2nd Floor is the horse tram - London Tramways 284. This tram used to be one of the first exhibits you came to on the ground floor but as an "early" exhibit has now moved as the story of London's transport is told from the top down.
As part of the "London's Future Transport" section right at the end of the Museum is a mock-up of the front of one of the new DLR units. This is part of a DLR display which shows a map of the expansion planned for the system in the next few years.
As well as the real tram exhibits a number of models are displayed in cabinets. Two of these - both LCC cars - are seen in this shot.
