Hi there, I'm Martin. I quite often seem to take photos when bored on the tube, so it was nice to be asked along to the London Transport Museum to do the same while being interested about the history of transport in London. If you like them, then why not vote for them? (And, if you're interested, you can have a look at my other photos from the visit.)

Back in the day, before Brunel and Greathead's tunnelling technology let engineers burrow under cities without disturbing things at street level, they had to dig very big holes. This is a miniature of one of those trenches, complete with a man telling you to go around the long way. Wouldn't want to fall in and become part of the Metropolitan Line, would you?

...step forward a hundred years or so, and the Museum takes you to the future. This is a mock-up of one of the new Victoria Line trains, currently in testing, and due to enter service sometime in 2009/10. Though just a bit of advance warning: the seats aren't as bouncy as the ones we've got now.
