About this site

This is my personal site for commentary about railway policy and wider transport topics. In addition there are three websites for projects about railways that I run: Trains for Europe, #CrossBorderRail, and Open Letter Trains to Kaunas.

For more than a decade I regularly blogged about UK and EU politics, and Brexit – that blog has been moved to euroblog.jonworth.eu.
