High Capacity and High Speed Travel: A 21st Century Solution
Professor Andrew McNaughton
The IET Railway Network Annual Lecture and Dinner | 22 October 2009 | IET London: Savoy Place

Welcome

It’s an exciting time to be involved in the Railway Industry…

Where next for the Rail Industry?

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) welcome the man at the very centre of the future of our railways to provide your 2009 lecture. Professor Andrew McNaughton (Chief Engineer, High Speed 2) will outline his thoughts via a session entitled "High Capacity and High Speed Travel: A 21st Century Solution". This is truly an important lecture on an important year for rail. On behalf of the IET, I do hope you can join us.
