#London #Transport #Museum has received a £237,000 grant from The National #Lottery Heritage Fund to protect its collection of 3,314 historic transport signs at its Acton Depot.

The Acton Access project will improve storage, conservation and public access to signs spanning more than 150 years of London's transport #history. The collection includes station signs, bus stop flags, maps and advertising panels, reflecting the evolution of the iconic London Transport roundel.

Museum staff, volunteers and local communities will document the signs and uncover their stories. Training and work experience placements will help develop heritage skills, while duplicate signs may be transferred to other museums.

The project aims to preserve the collection and the memories linking London's transport network to its communities for future generations.
