Speaker: Daniel Wright, Freelance Transport Writer

It's the large items that usually come to mind when we think of transport heritage, but the likes of Flying Scotsman and the Forth Bridge enjoy plenty of protection. Not so the smaller things such as signs, clocks and weighing machines that give character to railway journeys but can be at risk of removal at the whim of a management set on modernisation. Taking examples from throughout Britain, transport writer and campaigner Daniel Wright makes a plea to save these items whose familiarity he believes attract people to train travel and for which the first need may be to compile a list of what's there. Daniel is a transport planner whose first job after graduating from Aston University was at the newly-created Institute of Logistics and Transport in London, where he worked during 1999 as a Policies Assistant.
