Dear Yasui R.,

Hajimemashide,

I wish following information would be helpful for your research.

1.   The London Transport Museum is not located in a railway station,
however the Museum provides some events at disused underground
stations. I copy their descriptions from the Museum's leaflet ,`Talks
and events: September 1997 to January 1998'.

* Lectures:

1-1.   Under the Ground: London's Disused Stations (Wednesday 5
November 14:00-15:00).

" By popular demand, Assistance Curator Mike Ashworth repeats his
entertaining talk on disused Tube stations in London. Find out which
Underground station was a temporary home to ancient Egyptian artefacts
and which Tube station housed a cinema. "

Tickets cost £6.00/£4.00 (Friends/concessions) including admission to
the Museum and tea/coffee after lecture.

* Tours:

1-2.   Aldwych Station Tour (Sunday 19 October 11:00 and 15:00, Sunday
30 November 11:00 and 15:00, Starts from the Museum).

" Another opportunity to visit the now disused Aldwych station
designed in the early 1900s by architect Leslie Green. "

1-3.   Down Street Tour (Sunday 9 November 11:00 and 15:00, Sunday 14
December 11:00 and 15:00, Starts from Green Park Tube Station).

" For the first time, the Museum is pleased to be able to offer a
visit to Down Street station, disused since 1932. The station provided
a War time home to the Railway Executive Committee and was used by
Winston Churchill during the dark days of the Blitz. (Please note that
this tour is not suitable for children under 16). "

Tour tickets cost £8.00/£6.00 (concessions) including entry to the
Museum.

2.   The Science Museum, London opened a small shop and information
desk at South Kensington tube-station this year.

3.   Kyong-Bok-Koong station of Seoul, South Korea provides exhibition
facilities in the station. The station had been an access to the old
National Museum of Korea until 1995. The site is now under
construction for restoration of the Kyong-Bok palace.


Yours sincerely,

Jongsok Kim
