from Great Rail Tales · host Railway 200

Railway 200 has caused Clare Wildfire to reflect and reconnect with her ancestral legacy of industrialist Edward Pease, one of the leading lights in the launch of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Edward Pease was visionary in being able to project into the future about how the railway will change lives and communities.   Today Clare is involved in shaping the future of the rail network by examining how it can help regenerate and reinvigorate communities while reducing carbon.   For Clare, rail’s bicentenary is about more than people, place and purpose, it’s about connecting herself directly with the past, present and future of rail.
