Recently, 30,000 transport professionals travelled from around the world to Amsterdam for Intertraffic, the world’s leading event on Mobility & Traffic Technology.
In the run-up to Intertraffic, five TRL team members; Paul Campion, Subu Kamal, Spencer Rigler, James Long and Stephen Lynn, put the UK’s various routes to Europe to the test in real life:
Paul used a bike, trains and a tram
James and Stephen drove an EV
Subu flew
And Spencer, well he walked, used trains, a coach and a ferry!
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 gateways to mainland Europe.
