From Richard Trevithick to High Speed 2, the UK Rail Industry has led the development of Railway Technology in all areas for the past 200 years. Over this time Geospatial Engineering has provided understanding of where passengers and freight are coming from and going to, and Survey Technology has developed continuously. We will explore how we came to understand not just where point A and Point B are but how we can change where they are whilst keeping them in the same place at the same time,
