Magnus Volk and His Amazing Railways

23-Feb-2022 @ 19:30 - 22:00

Please note: The RCTS Privacy Policy applies to everyone participating in, or registering for, this event.

Magnus Volk was a true pioneer of all things electrical, and today is chiefly remembered for the creation of
Volk’s Electric Railway, which opened in 1883 and still runs along Brighton seafront, now recognised
as the oldest electric railway in the world. He also built an even more extraordinary railway in Brighton,
and this talk looks at his life and the history of both his lines.
