THE chairman of the London Transport Museum Friends group is to give a talk at Basingstoke Discovery Centre next month.

On Thursday, December 4 at 2pm, Barry LeJeune will visit the Festival Place library to look at the role of the London Transport Museum and its Friends in preserving London's transport heritage.

He will also describe two recent, major projects: the restoration of a Victorian Metropolitan Line coach, as part of the celebrations of 150 years of London Underground in 2013; and the restoration of a 1910 B-type bus in 2014 as part of the commemoration of the outbreak of World War One.

Tickets are £3.
