Tim Dunn - a lifetime shaped by the metropolitan railway and expressed through Railway 200

Rail historian and broadcaster Tim Dunn’s connection to the railways goes back to his grandpa who left Tim his many hundreds of railway books when he died when Tim was just a young boy. Tim read about the world through the lens of railway history and it ignited his life long passion for the railways.  His dad worked for British Rail as a surveyor and used to take Tim around the country looking at railway buildings.  For Tim, being able to tell the story of the railways and the people it connects is a great privilege.  Tim shares his joy for how people have expressed their passion for the railways and interpreted rail’s past, present and future during the Railway 200 year.
