Francis Bourgeois to Attend Wales’ First Public Transport Summit


Author, trainspotter and social media star Francis Bourgeois will attend Wales’ First Public Transport Summit later this month.

Taking place 22 and 23 May at Wrexham University, the Summit will bring together transport leaders and build collaborative momentum that’s needed to shape a transport system fit for the future.

Francis gained cult status for his warm, uplifting and engaging trainspotting adventures and has rapidly become one of the UK’s most recognisable digital creators, with a global reach.

Lewis Brencher, Communications and Customer Director at TfW, said: 

“It’s great to be hosting Francis Bourgeois at our Public Transport Summit as it provides us with an opportunity to promote our new trains and buses, encouraging more people to use them.

 

“At TfW we’ve been working hard to really improve the customer experience on public transport and that includes investing £800 million into brand-new trains across the whole Wales and Borders network, adding modern electrified buses to our TrawsCymru network and a billion-pound investment in the South Wales Metro.

 

“We’ve seen an increase in the number of people using our public transport network and we now want to further promote our investment and attract more people to use it.”
