and preferably with an online shop too.

I want to get some rail/transport related souvenirs, and I'd like it to be branded to real networks rather than just a train model in a made up livery (for example).

I know there's the London Transport Museum selling lots of branded stuff.

Vienna's transport operator has an online store: https://shop.wienerlinien.at/index.php/merch/26.merchandise

Stockholm's SL has a shop in its musem, but it's not online.

Does anyone know of other good examples with online stores?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I've found another, Swiss railways: https://www.sbb-shop.ch/pub/index.php?&l=en

Ideally though I'd prefer it on the city level. Vienna's U-Bahn and Stockholm's Metro do some cool keyrings with their logos on etc.

Given how iconic some metro logos on I'd have thought that there would be more.

A good number of DB "Reisenbureau" (sic) sell branded DB bags , watches etc ...rather better value than the iconic and excellent SBB etc stuff.

Course - back in the days when we had a proper railway in the UK , Travel Centres used to sell season ticket holders / bags etc - all for corporate advertising.

Can you imagine say Connex doing that - let alone GTR customers buying their brand for use...?

Some model shops may have what you are looking for. Try searching here:

http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/other/events.php

Apart from trains. you will find, for example, model buses in liveries of actual bus operators (past or present). The site identifies shops with "on-line" selling facilities.

As well as the NYC Museum shop mentioned above, the MTA also sell off old bits directly - bit like Collectors Corner used to for BR. A bit more expensive than you might have been thinking of though!

Sydney used to have one, but it seems to be offline so not sure whether it has closed or just temporarily unavailable

The BLS network in Switzerland had a shop in Zweisimmen the last time I was there - mugs, t-shirts etc.
