Diese tief verwurzelte Faszination entwickelte sich zu einer lebenslangen Beschäftigung, die sein umfangreiches Werk prägte. Mit einem einzigartigen visuellen Gespür, das er durch seine Karriere als Grafikdesigner und Art Director bei führenden Londoner Verlagen entwickelte, taucht er in die komplexe Geschichte, die ästhetische Anziehungskraft und die oft ungesagten Geschichten von Eisenbahnnetzen in ganz Großbritannien und der Welt ein.
