Off The Rails - Special Visitor

L to R : Tony Beard, who wrote the book,
Tony de Swarte, who made the model,
Dave Armitage, who runs the Museum and organised the Exhibition

Last Saturday we welcomed a special visitor to our new Exhibition. No less than Tony Beard who wrote the book from which we gained much inspiration, if not most of the information. It was good to meet him at last and get his 'approval' for all our hard work. He sent us a newly discovered aerial photo just as we were finalising the panels, and we added it to great effect.

Can you spot the entrance to the Elstree Tunnel in the photo above?

Tony has written many books on transport, and his latest is Steering London Through: London's Road Services in the Second World War
the story of the London Bus during the War. Unfortunately By Tube Beyond Edgware is no longer available, so you'll just have to visit our
Exhibition to learn the full story.
