Transport posters – fairy tale edition. 🐺👧

This poster from 1980 is entitled ‘You get home quicker with a return ticket’, encouraging London Transport network users to buy return tickets instead of singles. The poster shows Little Red Riding Hood, conveniently avoiding the Big Bad Wolf by not needing to queue up for a ticket for her train.

We love the quirkier side of our collection. Have you ever seen this poster before?

Our volunteers are stars! 🌟

In our latest blog, Volunteer Resource Manager Sam Clift rounds off Volunteers’ Week 2025.

Happy Volunteers Week 2025! | London Transport Museum Volunteers at London Transport Museum contribute a phenomenal amount of time, energy, enthusiasm, skill and expertise to the work we do, ensuring that our visitors have a fantastic time. This year we are shining a spotlight on our volunteers by taking part in Volunteers’ Week 2025,celebrating thei...

To celebrate Volunteers’ Week, we’re highlighting some of the amazing contributions volunteers make here at the Museum. 🌟

One of our volunteers, Gerry Abrahams, has been a significant presence on the Friends sales team, where they sell transport memorabilia from the Emporium at our Museum Depot in Acton and at bus and rail heritage events throughout the year. Gerry is a marvel at interacting with visitors (no doubt influenced by his years working in TfL travel information) and fellow volunteers and staff always feel lighter when Gerry is around.

Gerry is also actively involved with our train preparation team. The team are responsible for keeping our rolling stock clean and tidy and are often seen at the Museum during the week cleaning carriages like the 1938 tube stock, much to the surprise and delight of our visitors!

A huge thank you to Gerry for all the warmth and enthusiasm he brings and for helping to create many positive memories. Thank you also to the Friends sales and train preparation teams for all their dedication, enthusiasm and for being such an amazing example of what volunteers can achieve.
