TRAINS
Trains and train travel have inspired novelists, poets and painters ever since the locomotive was invented. They have been the setting for intrigue and assignation, for class distinction and for romance and nostalgia.
Laurie Taylor looks at the cultural history of this mode of transport with Dr Gayle Letherby, deputy director of the Centre for Social Justice at Coventry University, co-author of Train Track: work, play and politics on the railway and Christian Wolmar, Journalist and leading commentator on transport matters.
