To herald the opening of Bedlington Station Library in the Community Centre, Northumberland Libraries in partnership with SENRUG, the South East Northumberland Rail User Group and the East Bedlington Community Centre, are pleased to present a Talk and Q&A with Christian Wolmar, award winning writer and broadcaster specialising in transport and author of a well-known series of books on railway history. The event will take place on Thursday 31 March at 2pm.

Christian is acknowledged as one of the UK’s leading commentators on transport matters. He broadcasts frequently on radio and TV and is a regular pundit on the national news bulletins. Among his numerous feature TV appearances, he has been on Coast, Julia Bradbury’s Railway Walks and the railway programmes presented by Ian Hislop and Michael Portillo, and more recently the series on BBC4 about how the railways made modern Britain.

The event includes the opportunity to have a copy of Christian's latest book, Cathedrals of Steam, signed. Refreshments available from the licensed cafe, The Buffet Car.  Tickets are free and can be booked online at Eventbrite.
