This is a very long bus route which begins in Central London, on Oxford Street.

The Central Line runs right through the middle of the Underground system, and stops at all the major shopping areas, such as Oxford Street and Bond Street.

Answer: Number 8

The number 8 bus has an interesting route which goes through Green Park, Bond Street and Bank. The Routemaster was phased out because it was not easily accessible for disabled people, although London Transport continued to run them on a couple of so-called "Heritage Routes" through the main tourist areas of central London.

In 2012, the first prototypes of a new open-backed double-decker were introduced on the number 38 route.

7. Docklands Light Railway is a mode of transport that is a cross between a train and a tram, and it doesn't require a driver! In which area of London is it located?

Answer: East London

This is a very reliable service which is useful to use when there is an Underground staff strike as this line continous to run...probably because the trains don't need a driver.

8. What does the famous tannoy announcement say when a train comes into an Underground station?

Answer: Mind the gap

This phrase has become so well known that you can even buy T-shirts and mugs with it on.

9. True or False? A one day Travelcard can be used on various types of London Transport, including black taxi cabs.

Answer: False

People would save quite a bit of money if a Travelcard was valid in black cabs!
