It’s guided by Christian Wolmar and Sam Jacobs.
Christian’s a best-selling author, broadcaster, historian, and Britain’s undisputed railway sage. If it’s got rails, wheels, or a story, Christian’s your man. He’s written Fire and Steam, Cathedrals of Steam, and half a dozen other wonderful journeys through the history of transport. Christian’s got that rare gift – he can make timetables sing and signal boxes tell tales. A lifelong Londoner with a journalist’s curiosity and a historian’s eye, he knows railways aren’t just about trains – they’re about people, politics, and the city itself.
And as for Sam – well, top-flight, professionally qualified guides don’t come any more top-flight. (Did I just say flight? Wrong mode of transport, right sentiment.) Sam’s the real deal: razor-sharp, endlessly engaging, and one of that elite handful of guides who can turn information into revelation. Sam’s poster says it all.
