2nd December 2019 · ‘Freight Then and Now’

Presenter: Brian Ringer

The joint Branch meeting on the 2nd December was conducted by one of MK’s own members Brian Ringer, who was a former railwayman n the freight sector.

His talk was entitled Freight Now and Then which explained the vast differences between freight in the post war years and the inter- modal trains operated today. Brian gave a fascinating insight into how computerisation has changed the whole dynamics of railway freight especially in the import/export field.
