With the advent of Crossrail 2 this timely event examines the impact the railways have had on Britain's trade, tourism and time. A vital part of national life for nearly 200 years, the railways have transformed lives and landscapes. As a self-contained world governed by distinctive rules and traditions, the network also exerts a fascination all its own. Simon Bradley is one of Britain's foremost experts on the railways: his book was the Sunday Times History Book of the Year 2015 and BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Join Simon on a journey through Britain's railways.
