Title: London Underground Railway Society Post by: grahame on April 19, 2020, 06:19:07 From http://www.lurs.org.uk/index.htm (http://www.lurs.org.uk/index.htm) - the current website of the London Underground Railway Society[/url]
Quote THE LONDON UNDERGROUND RAILWAY SOCIETY The London Underground Railway Society (LURS) exists to study all aspects of Transport for London's metro railways, - past, present and future. Including LUL, London Overground, The Docklands Light Railway and Croydon Tramlink, as well as the relevant sections of London's Network Rail, and the now long disused Post Office Railway. Additionally, including some long forgotten and bizarre ones, in addition to the main London Underground system. The LURS was formed back in 1961, since that time interest in us, and our membership have grown steadily each year. We hold a monthly meeting, which is held during the evening on the second Tuesday of the month, at an easily accessible venue which is located in Central London. This usually taking the form of an illustrated talk by a specialist speaker, on a relevant topic. Further details of which can be found on the Meetings page of this website. Also on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/lursoc/ Monthly meetings (but postponed / cancelled just at present due to Coronavirus) at a venue near Great Portland Street station. I note that the society covers not only underground but also overground and "relevant sections of London's Network Rail" and as such surely is revelant to Coffee Shop members with an interest in London to Reading and perhaps inner Thames Valley Branches. No personal experience - initial interest picked up from the John Money archive (http://www.passenger.chat/20227). Are any Coffee Shop members also members of LURS? Anyone been to their meetings?

No, but I've had a link to the site for ages - the archive of their magazine goes back to 1962, and is absolutely full of ... stuff, various (not just LU), brilliant for time-wasting distractions.

I used to be a member when I lived up that way many years ago, but left when I moved SouthWest. Still have a number of the paper journals from the early 1980s somewhere.
