  • Brunel needed to prove his ground-breaking engineering to be practicable. There would be a gradient inside the pending Box Tunnel that some theorists predicted would cause trains to emerge at 120mph! IKB travelled up and down the C&W Railway studying gradients to present his facts to Parliament so that the Act would enable the line to be completed between London and Bristol.

      The staff at the museum looked at my face and told me to keep moving, otherwise they would put me into a glass case!
