The National Archives at Kew is warning of two possible London Underground strikes that might lead to possible early closing on Thursday 6th February, as well as disruption to anyone wishing to travel to Kew or indeed any other London based archives if you're planning on taking the Tube. The first strike is to take place from 21:30 on Tuesday 4th February until the morning of Friday 7 February 2014.

British Transport Police History Group
Here's something that may be of interest - the British Transport Police History Group, with a website at www.btphg.org.uk, and covering all of Britain.
Amongst the many offerings online are a roll of honour listing the deaths of railway, dock and canal police officers who have died in the line of duty, a WW1 roll of honour and additional rolls for both the Second World War and the Korean War. There are also lists of medals and honours, a history of the service, a blog and all sorts. A brilliant resource.
