Betwixtmas routemaster and steampumping engine bonanza.

[tim]

On the 30th and 31 of December you can visit the giant steam engines at Kempton and Bretford and travel between them on a route master more or less following the 237 route. It'll cost you £30 but sounds fun.

Tickets Alert: Visit two steam museums with a Routemaster shuttle trip

If you fancy visiting two Victorian steam engine museums and travelling between them in a vintage bus -- then you're in luck as the Kempton Steam Museum and the London Museum of Water & Steam are offering exactly that.

Love steam engines - the sheer fucking size and mass of them running almost silently

Seen a couple in Cornwall, plus there's been a local mini display with all sorts of old diesel/petrol engines. Fascinating trying to work out how they actually operate.

I've been to Brentford to see them working. They are 150/200 years old and the size of dinosaurs.

Am away for this, which is a shame, would love to see them, the Kempton one captured my imagination as a kid being driven along the A316, could see inside the building and it looked amazing!
