"Transit" is an original novel written by Ben Aaronovitch and based on the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who". It features the Seventh Doctor, Bernice and the first appearance of Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart. A prelude to the novel, also penned by Aaronovitch, appeared in "Doctor Who Magazine" #195.

The novel is a set in an inter-planetary transport network that has evolved out of the London Underground. Trains teleport through tunnels in the space-time continuum to travel between fixed points at faster-than-light speeds. King's Cross station is the terminus for a Central Line that connects human colonies throughout the solar system, and as the story opens the network is about to be extended to its first extra-solar location, in Arcturus (this is called the "Stunnel", in imitation of the "Chunnel").

The novel also continues from "The Seeds of Death", with the Transit network as an offshoot of the T-Mat system, and references to the Ice Warriors. "Ahistory" by Lance Parkin describes the novel as taking place "at least a generation" after the serial, based on a "future history" document by Aaronovitch.
