Talk

For this stage i really wanted to show my product to someone knew more about rail travel. I contacted the Museum of Transport and asked if anyone would be willing to meet with me. Last friday I managed to take my product down to Glasgow and talk to John Messner, railway curator.

During our chat he understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve through platform. He gave me some great advice on how it would fit into a museum as an interactive piece and what changes would need to be made.

After our meeting he emailed me:

Eva,

It was nice to meet you today and discuss your project.

Train travel is such a basic thing one one level. Point A to point B, hopefully without a delay at Point C. But what train travel also does is take away the stress, the complexity of travel and offers the passenger a chance to sit back relax, watch the world go by, or ponder the meaning of what one sees. The project shows people that train travel can be peaceful, easy, and above all simple. Simple journey, simple pleasure, simple idea.
