Transportation has been a lifelong fascination for me having spent my childhood years between the Middle East, South Asia and Europe. Now as a geography student and part-time transport worker based in London, I've had the privilege of travelling Britain's railways arguably one of the most interesting and historically diverse transport networks to be found anywhere in the world.
Aside from studies, I work at London Heathrow Airport as an operations assistant delivering sustainable public transport solutions at one of Europe's busiest airports and multi-modal transport hubs.
I often think of the UK as a country of countries. One country made of up by plethora of distinctly different people, and the railways sum this notion up perfectly. From London you can reach every corner of the land and by consequence, sample the rich patchwork of the communities they serve. The history of Britain's railways is integrally linked to the history of modern Britain, they could not fundamentally exist with one another.
That's +200 years of history and +10,000 miles of possibilities. Who wouldn't want to explore that?
