Programme for spring 2001
Saturday April 21st at 12.00 p.m.
we head for Trøgstad in Akershus from the Tramway Museum Vognhall 5 with our own bus, where we participate in the opening of the Museum of Transport History! Here you can take a look at several LTF buses which are exhibited at last. We will use some of our buses this day. The bus returns to Majorstuen afterwards.
Monday April 23rd at 6.30 p.m.
we use our own bus, probably our Büssing which is recently registered, from Vognhall 5 to Norwegian Tele Museum's auditory at Kjelsås (arrival at about 7 p.m.). Here we arrange "English evening" and take a closer look at public tranport on rails in London and other English cities. We'll watch the presentation film about Croydon Tramlink and "The Elephant Will Never Forget". After the membership meeting, the bus returns to Majorstuen.
