Welcome to the LURS

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 London Underground Limited, London Overground, The Docklands Light Railway and Croydon Tramlink, as well as the relevant sections of London's National Rail Network, and the now long disused Post Office Railway. Additionally, including some long forgotten and perhaps bizarre ones, in addition to the main London Underground system.

The LURS was formed back in November 1961, and since that time interest in us, and our membership have grown steadily each year.

We hold a bi-monthly (every two months) meeting, which is held during the evening, usually on the first Tuesday of the month, at an easily accessible venue which is located in Central London. This usually involves 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.

Another interest covered is modelling. The Society has available information for modellers of London Underground, including some scale drawings, and lists of suppliers of kits & spare parts.

LURS PUBLICATIONS

To keep our members fully informed, the LURS publishes Underground News every month. This fully illustrated journal is intended to keep readers abreast of events on London's Underground and of LURS activities, together with articles on various interesting and relevant subjects.

Underground News is in A5 format and normally contains at least 48 pages plus covers, full colour throught where possible, with usually, three larger editions each year. You can buy an individual copy HERE.

MEMBERSHIP

Membership runs from January to December each year, but those joining on or after 1st July in any year, may do so for the half year at reduced rate.
