Overview
David Rose and Geoff Burch
This year is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway from which Britain and the world changed forever. It is also the 180th anniversary of when the railway came to Guildford and 100th anniversary of the first electric train running into Guildford.
Geoff and David will trace the development of railways lines into Guildford from 1845 to the present day, with fascinating vintage photos.
David is a local historian and writer who is mad on railways and Geoff is a retired railway-man and historian who started his career at Guildford’s steam engine shed in 1961.
