Wednesday is the new (Black) Friday! #blackfriday has started today #online in our London Transport Museum Shop so head-over there now to snap up those special #gifts for you and your #family! (Follow the link in the bio!)

"We all know what we could do better... You can sit down and you can plan it and you can fix it... All collectively together make that actually happen." Listen to Lucy May from Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. explaining why being an #engineer is so much fun. #FutureEngineers #YearOfEngineering

#didyouknow that London Transport Museum used to be a #flowermarket? We’ll be bringing back the market but with a future twist! Head to our Futures Marketplace on 22 November as part of Late Debate: Race for space. Explore a pop-up tube station, electric vehicles, energy gardens, #engineering challenges, the modernisation of past era signalling technology, #cycling fun, authors and publications on urbanism... What more could you want at a market? https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/events-calendar/shapingldn

Q stock trains first ran on the London Underground's District line eighty years ago on 14 November 1938. For more than 30 years they carried people through key moments in London’s history, from the dark years of the Second World War to the swinging sixties. We are raising funds to restore the last three surviving 1930s Q stock carriages. Once in working condition, the aim is for the restored cars to run on heritage railways. We need your help to keep our Q stock restoration on track. Follow the link in bio to donate! #onthisday #qstock #districtline #londonunderground

To celebrate the start of #transawarenessweek, on Monday 12 November, @transportforlondon flew the #transpride flag above 55 Broadway. We are hoping to add the flag to our #LGBT+ collection, to go with our latest acquisitions, which help us tell the stories of LGBT+ people's contributions to London's transport. Learn more in our latest blog post (link in bio). Photo by Andy De Santis.

Lest We Forget #RemembranceDay #armistice100 #100centuary100stories

In 1917 alone, the drivers of these B-type buses drove 1.2 million men nearly 3 millions miles. A heroic effort. #RemembranceDay #Armistice100 #100Centuary100Stories

In 1914, around 1000 red London B-type buses were commandeered by the War Office for military service. Many were sent to the front lines in France and Flanders, and some as far as Greece #RemembranceDay #armistice100 #100centenary100stories Photographs: copyright TfL

On #RemembranceDay, we’re recognising the contribution and sacrifice made by men from across Britain who enlisted and served as drivers during WW1. We’re taking part in A Nation’s Thank You - The People’s Procession on The Mall #100Centenary100Stories #armistaceday #100years

On Thursday 8 November, join us for a special evening at London Transport Museum, where we will be joined by author and historian Emmanuelle Dirix as she interprets our exhibition Poster Girls through the particular lens of #fashion and #textiles. Discover the golden age of women’s poster design in the interwar period, the historical and social changes that made this possible and how these changes influenced the designs themselves. Follow the link in the bio to book your tickets. Students can get a discount using the code STUDENTTALKWRAP. #posterart #postergirls #womeninart #womendesigners #talk #museumevents

The contribution of London’s transport workers during WW1 will also be commemorated in the civilian procession, A Nation’s Thank You, on Sunday 11 November. Two vintage London B-type buses which served as military vehicles during the war, and which have been preserved by London Transport Museum, will take part in the event on The Mall. Further details can be found on our website (link in bio). #100Centenary100Stories #remembranceday #veteransday #armistice100

Book your tickets for our Late Debate: Race for Space event on Thursday 22 November. You can use the code 241earlybird and get 2 tickets for the price of 1 until 12 November. London’s population is larger than it has ever been and its growth is showing no sign of slowing down. Expected to exceed 10 million by 2036, it will soon join the growing list of global megacities. How will we manage the race for urban space and provide enough for housing, nature, culture, and critical infrastructure? What can we learn from cities around the world and what technological, cultural and transport innovations must we develop and adopt? Join us in this festival style event offering debates, talks, and workshops and discuss how to future-proof our city. Network in our Futures Marketplace and explore London Transport Museum’s galleries after hours, including the temporary exhibition on Crossrail – Secret Life of a Megaproject, and the brand new gallery, Future Engineers. #architecture #engineering #futureoflondon #megacities #cityplanning
