The transport coefficients of the Anderson model are calculated by extending Wilson's NRG method to finite temperature Green's functions. Accurate results for the frequency and temperature dependence of the single--particle spectral densities and transport time $\tau(\omega,T)$ are obtained and used to extract the temperature dependence of the transport coefficients in the strong correlation limit. The low temperature anomalies in the resistivity, $\rho(T)$, thermopower, $S(T)$, thermal conductivity $\kappa(T)$ and Hall coefficient, $R_{ H}(T)$, are discussed. All quantities exhibit the expected Fermi liquid behaviour at low temperature with power law dependecies on $T/T_{ K}$ in very good agreement with analytic results based on Fermi liquid theory. Scattering of conduction electrons in higher, $l>0$, angular momentum channels is also considered and an expression is derived for the corresponding transport time and used to discuss the influence of non--resonant scattering on the transport properties.
