Obviously you'll be able to buy them on the door if you really enjoy queuing. I'm not sure where the crowds will come from to form a queue, as other than the LTMuseum website there has been no advance publicity in the enthusiast or other press. (£10 i hear) i saw a poster at West Brompton earlier on advertising the Upmister Depot open day, there was a picture of an R stock on it |

Hmm.....
I think £10 entry is a bit of a mickey take, especially when many people are struggling financially at the moment. I've got a couple of friends that want to go, but they've said they're gonna reconsider now that it's gonna cost 'em £20 just to walk through the gates.

"Under 16s free if accompanied by an adult" What am I supposed to do then? Im 14 and no adult coming with me. Will I need to pay an adult or concession price? Edit: Just called the London Transport Museum and they say I wont be allowed in if there isnt an adult with me  |

I agree that £10 is too expensive just to wonder around a depot looking at trains that are not even moving.
but since when has our hobby of transport ever been cheap?

Contrary to the poster already produced the article in todays METRO states an opening time of 10am, which is right?
Confusion as usual!

I'd believe the poster opening times although I can guess where the 10.00am start time confusion crept in. I believe most of the LT Museum stock will be housed in the cleaning shed within the Depot and be accessible to board for all visitors.

My briefing notes (as a steward) state a start time of 11am, but request us from 10am for setting up. |
