Britain's leading transport commentator.

This website provides an archive of my transport columns and other contributions to the public debate. I write regular columns for Rail magazine and Transport Times, as well as occasional articles for several newspapers including the Evening Standard, The Independent, the Guardian and the Yorkshire Post. I also appear regularly as a commentator on television and radio.

I write a blog called 'Christian Says' for website visitors, which covers a variety of latest topics, whilst you can also read about my books and learn of my forthcoming speaking engagements.

Feel free to email me with any comments, ideas or gossip!
