Where we’re going, we need roads (and trains)

​We might be on the verge of a transport revolution. Autonomous vehicles are already on our streets, petrol engines are going the way of steam trains and drones are zooming high. Or maybe transport is about to fall apart - with HS2 being dismembered, Northern trains being cancelled and my e-scooter still not road legal after five years gathering dust in my garage.

​So to explain what is going right, wrong, and weird about transport now, join James O'Malley, who will be talking with Michael Dnes, former roads, rail and technology specialist at the Department of Transport, and who today is Head of Transport Policy at the consultancy Stonehaven.

​-----

​Doors open at 6pm, talk begins at 7pm and will last until approximately 8:30pm including an audience Q&A.

​And feel free to stick around after and hang out with us!

​Tickets are £5 for paying subscribers to either Odds and Ends of History, and £10 for everyone else. (Be honest, we will check!)
