You are quite correct, although I think understandably TfL aren't focussing on it as a primary concern - 150 years being a much 'bigger' deal than 80!
Indeed, I am aware of only one event marking the formation of the LPTB (Primarily because I'm organising it...), and that is taking place at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire on the 6th and 7th July. It's intended to be a 'generic' celebration of London transport.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
