Gareth returns to Hopetown Darlington to tell us how the railways fit into the future of mobility and civilization as a whole. He will talk about trains today, what we get right, what we don’t, and what lessons we can learn from two hundred years of modern railways. He’ll tell us which countries have the best railway systems and why. And he’ll tell us what role railways will have in shaping and sustaining our future, as we face down climate change, population and demographic changes and the threats of the rising power of the tech industry.
