In the run-up to Highways UK, the UK’s premier highways event at The NEC in Birmingham, four TRL team members, Shaun Helman, Jill Weekley, Ianto Guy, and George Beard, put the nation’s transport networks to the test in real life, travelling to the event using various modes of transport.
Incorporating a short train trip, Shaun made the majority of the journey on a Brompton electric bike.
Jill opted for a bus, then a coach, finishing with train.
George started the journey using a standard EV, before switching to a Microlino courtesy of our friends at Krazy Horse.
And Ianto? He took to the water.... in a canoe he built himself!
All while tackling a series of challenges along the way.
Find out how they got on, what they thought of their modes of transport, and their views of the UK's transport infrastructure.
