On Friday 13 February 2009 I’m giving a talk to the Cambridge University Railway Club with the title A knife in the vitals: railways and the Great Game.

I’ll be looking at a general history of Afghanistan’s railways, and the various current projects for links to Iran, Pakistan and China.

Apparently it will be in the William Thatcher room at Fitzwilliam College, at 20:30. Non-members are welcome; the CURC attracts some big name speakers (and, erm, me), and you don’t have to be linked to the university to go along.

I guess I’d better start writing my script…
