On Our Lines follows the adventures of Jarley as they travel across the British Isles by rail. The project sets out to explore the places and people that make the railways what they are today, as well as to look into the history of the railways and how they've come to be as they are.

The project was in part inspired by Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys, and also pays homage to other railway adventures such as Tim Dunn's The Architecture the Railways Built.

Whilst setting out to explore the entirety of Britain's mainland rail network, and to visit each of the country's 2593 railway stations, the project's primary focus is to create a living journal focussing on life on and around the rail network. It will be casting a critical eye across rail operations from both a passenger and transport professional's perspective, but also celebrating the railway's achievements and successes as they are encountered. Indeed, the whole project is a celebration of all things rail-based, but equally doesn't shy away from suitable criticism at those times that things have not gone well.

In addition, On Our Lines will also be looking away from the mainline, and focussing on Britain's other rail routes. Numerous sub-brands will explore these vital transport networks and important historical attractions, some of which will sit alongside the main adventures but others of which are exclusively reserved for our Patreon subscribers.
