Railroad in U.K.

[NW Mailing List]

A tip for London: download the free Citymapper London app for your phone.
Citymapper will tell you how to get from anywhere in London to anywhere else
by walking, by Underground,  by bus, or by combinations of those three. It
uses Transport of London data to tell you how soon a bus or subway will
arrive. It's easy to use and  absolutely essential for visitors I think.
You'll need internet access to use it. There is a lot of free wifi all over
London or you can buy an international data plan from your cell phone
company. I think I paid $10 a day for a GB a day of data and international
phone service from AT&T when I went to London last fall. 

 

One more tip: if you're interested in history the Imperial War Museum in
London is a must - see.

Thanks to Dave Phelps, Bob Gellatly, Rob Doorack, W.J. Powers and Brandon
for the info on Railroad sites in the U.K.

Unfortunately I am pretty limited to the geographical locations I can get to
this trip. I never have more than half a day not already scheduled. And,
unfortunately again, Rob, I won't be in the U.K. in June for the steam ride.
I will be there the first two weeks of May which means I will miss the
annual convention for the N&WHS in Roanoke. Rats.

     The National Railway Museum in York will have to wait for my next trip
but I can probably work the London Transportation Museum and the Museum of
Liverpool at the Pier Head in this trip. And save the rest for the next trip
when I can make the focus on steam engines. Thanks again.
