I don't collect the usual souvenirs -- pins, pens, maps, t-shirts, tickets, or sign replicas -- (okay, I collect maps ;)) -- and I don't want to see those here :)

How about the more curious stuff?

My NYC subway map shower curtain:



A set of pencils from Tokyo that look like the different train sets:



My self-made Metro Bits coffee mug:



Original London Underground Johnston font set for Windows:




How about your craziest or most unusual subway souvenirs?

OMG WTF?!!! A SHOWER CURTAIN? that's so cool yet scary...

are those boxers or shorts?
Boxer of course.
Châtelet – Les Halles should be in the crotch area.:D
Not very special: a coffee mug with a map of the Paris metro.
Excellent Minato :lol: Dis moi pas que tu le portes...
:lol: No, it was a gift and I never wear it.
shower curtain is the best!!!

and this is my collection of mugs:)



Paris, London1, Berlin1, Berlin2, London2, London3 :)

^^ Wow, nice collection of metro map coffee mugs!

I only have the Paris one that everybody seems to have.
hahaha and i thought always, the London's one is that one which everybody has :)

btw as far as i know there are only few companies who sells those metro mugs

there is an excellent one from Los Angeles but they don't send it abroad :/
I have a thing for tube maps too, but I think i have one of the weirdest souvenirs.

I was involved with the july 7 London underground bombings and consequently have piece of C Stock circle line tube train embedded in both my shoulder and leg.

i also have the London tube mugs and boxer shorts
Honestly those are some pretty cool stuff. Interesting people actually buy them =D
I want to get the Chicago Transit Authority Tie!

Well maybe the weirdest but not the most joyful. :(
I (obviously) have loads which aren't commercially available... Amongst them a Guard's Key (now defunct), 'Do not board this carriage' stickers (also now defunct), plus Guard's and Drivers' duty books and timetables spanning my 10 year career. I have line-specific uniform ties, internal keepsakes handed out to commemorate events (e.g. 100 years of the Bakerloo Line mug, umbrella & watch), and one of the old grab straps (or rather plastic ball on a spring) which have also just disappeared with the D Stock refurb.
