    About this event

    From origins with the Board of Trade in 1840, through to modern day with the Office of Rail Regulation, engineering has played an instrumental activity in regulating the railways. This talk will provide an insight of how engineering guides us today looking at what history has taught us, given the changes in technology and legislation.

    The presentation will (with the aid of photographs) look at the sort of work ORR carries outs, particularly for accident investigation and commissioning of rolling stock, how European influences give us new challenges and how some things haven't really changed that much. It will focus in on both freight and passenger stock.
