Come and join in! Be part of our new online course on railway workers – National Railway Museum blog
We have partnered with the University of Strathclyde to produce a free online course, open to everyone, on the lives of the British railway worker from 1840 to 1914. The four-week course will look at a different category of worker, starting with engine-drivers, then signallers, navvies and finally clerks. It is participatory—you will discover and interrogate primary sources and discuss your findings with other participants and course leaders Professor Kirstie Blair, University of Strathclyde, and Dr Oli Betts from the National Railway Museum.
Have a look at our trailer below for more information:
You can start the course at any time but it officially launches on Monday 30 September when the course leaders will be participating in discussion each week.
