The Tube 150 celebrations have placed the Museum in a new and creative relationship with Transport for London (TfL), deepened our links with sponsors and funders, and created new connections with hundreds of individual donors. We are now working closely with TfL and London’s bus operators to deliver the Year of the Bus, a celebration throughout 2014 of the contribution of the red bus to London’s economy and culture. To mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, we have another flagship restoration project underway – recreating a wartime B-type bus. We are also looking ahead to 2015 and our next major collaboration with TfL: a celebration of the importance of design to transport in London.

The Museum’s ever-growing collection consists of over 450,000 items including vehicles, posters, signs, uniforms and many other objects that represent London’s unique transport heritage. We ensure that the collection is properly conserved and cared for so that it is available as an inspiring and accessible resource for exhibitions, special events and research.
