The museum’s collection includes 500,000 items dedicated to the innovations in British urban transport, and dates back to the 1920s. It includes everything from locomotives which powered the world’s first underground railway, to one of the most important collections of 20th century poster art.
The occasion was to mark the 20th anniversary of Transport for London, which was introduced by the Greater London Authority Act in 1999 and took effect in 2000.
Prince Charles and Camilla had enjoyed a ride to the museum on an electric bus, boarding the red double decker at a specially installed temporary bus stop outside Clarence House.
