...They are still “a little bit” old, the good T4 that I may drive sometimes. To say it exactly – they are two, one built in 1992, the other in 1994. The older one is the short version (111.000 miles road capacity,) the more recent the long version (45.000 miles road capacity.) Interior You can stay comfortably in this car a night without having to pump blood into the extremities at the next morning some hours – like an insect that slipped freshly of first once a few hours. It’s much easier to stay one night in this car like in a Clio. Its logical, the T4 has got a payload of over 5 cubic meters. Of course, only if the seats are removed. You can transport the old dress cupboard of your grandma, beautiful large metal boxes, mobile toilets or couches. And – the most important aspect, you van take 7 passengers. The technical...

Disadvantages: City parking, small sink, sits around

...I have had my (second) VW T4, high top campervan for 2 1/2 years now, and I love it. It is an outdoor enthusiast's dream accommodation and can be used in all seasons. I have travelled all over the UK & France in mine and my friends and wife's parents have borrowed it and also love it. You can get VW T4's in their original fixed, low roof state and convert them yourself, as a friend of mine has. I chose to buy one that was already converted, from a small company near the Dartford Tunnel called 'Country Campers'. I went for the high-top version (as opposed to a low roof or bellows roof) because I am tall and for the extra storage space you get at the front and back. A brand new van with a brand new conversion can cost over £30,000. However, I paid £16,000 for a 'T' Reg van with a brand new conversion. You can pick up decent older... Read review

...With regards to public transport, nothing can beat the convenience of your own car. I would use public transport, if it was a viable option, but it's not. Not for me. I live in a rural village, and before everyone gets on my case saying "Ah well, that doesn't count". It does count. I and my family are part of the community and I am a memeber of the public, therefore I should be entitled to better 'public' transport. I am interested in the envirnment and such like, but I will not be put down for using my car. To me it is essential and vital to me and my family's life style. I'll give you some examples of me using public transport:- Where I live, I have a village store (too expensive for a weekly shop), a butcher shop, a pub and a post office. The bus service is one every hour. Not regular i.e on the hour, on the half... Read review

Advantages: child friendly, something for most people
Disadvantages: fairly static collection, a few pointless audio visuals

...Transport is in my blood. My father was a bus driver and is obsessed by most things that have wheels and moves. Trains, buses, cars, and lorries, you name it he has videos, books and models of them. I've caught the bug and become a bit of a London Underground junkie being fascinated by the history and development of this much maligned transport system. I have become such a geek I recently took a one day course on the Art and Architecture of London Transport. This was held in the subject for this review, the newly reopened London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. I have been to a number of Transport museum such as the tram museum at Critch and the Glasgow Transport Museum but the London one had so far eluded me. Housed in the old Victorian Ffower market the museum has had a 22.5 million face lift and relaunch. The museum... Read review

...the internet and place order, and it would be delivered in 3-4 days. Which pass to buy?---------Depends on number of days you are spending there and where you are staying. Its best to look up the Swiss tourism website. If you do not have internet access, you will be able to get a Trafimage map - Public transport maps showing the various regions, train stations and networks from the tourist office. This Trafimage map provide information on a wide range of public transport topics and where your pass is valid. I have noticed that new maps are added on a regular basis. Once you start looking there are a number of things you will come across, be sure to have a good look. Often so much information could be overwhelming!- • Half-Fare Card • Complete Public transport network • Panorama of train paths and recommended trips for foreign visitors... Read review

Advantages: An evocative history of London Transport, some beautifully renovated vehicles
Disadvantages: Restricted access on the upper level

...Like anyone located in England's capital city, I grew up travelling on London's Transport service. Its history (especially that which spanned my own period of usage from the early 1970s to the late 1980s) is as much a part of me as any other aspect of my life experiences. Long-term illness and a move to the countryside mean I no longer make journeys by public transport, but a keen sense of identification and fascination with the Underground train system in particular, remains. The London Underground has always seemed like a world within a world, a remarkable legacy of industrial achievements and architectural flair dating back to the late 19th century. Beneath a Victorian city, a labyrinth of interconnecting railroad tracks was burrowed in order to ease the congested streets above. Such a process, starting such a project from... Read review

...drug smuggling and the anti drug stance of a certain politician! He finds himself accused of the kidnapping of his charge and has to go on the run, staying one step ahead of the police while trying to clear his name and stop the bad guys. I'm not a great fan of mindless action movies but if they are well made and don't try to pretend to be something they are not then they can certainly pass the time and entertain, and this most certainly does that. The running time of 87 minutes just flew by when I was watching it! Transporter 2 is written by Luc Besson, mastermind behind the French Taxi films (which are fabulous), Nikita and Leon amongst others, and is in a similar vein to those. In all cases criminals are the focus of the film, though it varies by degrees from the petty criminal of Taxi to the cold-blooded assassin of Leon... Read review

...I absolutely loved this film!! I've been watching a lot of comedies lately but my friend bought me Transporter 2 for my birthday and thought I would watch it to make a change. I finished watching it about 15 minutes ago and had to come straight on here to tell you all about it!! This obviously is a sequel to the film The Transporter (hence the highly clever name Transporter 2!). Incase you haven't seen the first one and have no idea what I am talking about, The Transporter is Frank Martin played by Jason Statham (Revolver, Collateral, Mean Machine) and he is as the title suggests, a Transporter. He is paid to transport things from one place to another and the 'things' he is transporting are usually highly dangerous or something that somebody else wants and Frank therefore has to defend his life, and the 'thing' he is transporting...

...How many of us rely on public transport? For most of us it’s the only means of travelling from one place to another. How many of us have waited at a bus stop for almost an hour on a cold winter’s day? How many of us have had to put up with train delays? How many of us have had to push our way through crowds of people in order to get on the train? Transportation in London is a nightmare and this is only the surface of the problem. London’s Public Transportation system must be one of the busiest and largest in Europe, and it has all the overcrowding problems to match. There are two main rush hours in London which if you can avoid then do so, they are between 8 and 9.30am or later, from 4.30 to 6.30pm. Although not many of us can avoid travelling these times because most of us start work at the same time and finish at the same time... Read review

...The South Yorkshire Transport Museum can be found at Aldwarke, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Until recently this Transport Museum was located in the former Tinsley Tram Sheds between Sheffield and Rotherham. I visited here about 4 years ago and it was then called the Sheffield Bus Museum. Now it has relocated, it has been given a new name, the South Yorkshire Transport Museum. The former Sheffield Bus Museum first opened its doors to the Public ten years ago, in 1997. In December 2006 this Museum closed, re-opening at its present location a few weeks ago, in the Spring of 2007. This Museum has a collection of Trams and Buses that were once in use in Sheffield and the surrounding area. All of these have been fully restored and are in pristine condition. Almost all of them are also in full working order and when the weather... Read review
