How We Travelled

How British experiences of travel and transport have changed over the years, taking us further and (sometimes) faster than ever before.

It's often said that, since the end of the last century, life has been speeding up. It's not just that - as individuals and as a society - we're always on the go. We're travelling more, and further, too. Where decades earlier we might have lived, worked and shopped locally, social change and developments in local and national transport links have opened up our access to every part of the UK and beyond. More of us enjoy foreign holidays, or work overseas. Television and video have documented the consequences of shifting economic and political changes on the transport industry. It has witnessed technological developments from electrification of the railways to CCTV to smart motorways. Information technology governs how we buy our tickets, plan our journeys and keep our roads safe. Better connections to the rest of the world have transformed the way we travel, the goods in our shops and the people we live with. The opening of the Channel Tunnel in 1994 brought Europe closer than ever. All this travel comes has its costs - not least a heavy environmental impact that we're only beginning to get to grips with. Perhaps it's time we learned to travel a little less? So, for now, why not sit back, relax and take a virtual journey through the decades.
