MURRAY HUGHES is editor of Railway Gazette International, in which capacity he witnessed many key events in the development of high-speed trains in different countries. His fluency in French, German and Spanish helped him build relationships with some of the engineers and entrepreneurs who drove that development, and this was reflected in the success of the magazine which scooped many high-speed rail stories. Previously he was Foreign/News Editor for Modern Railways, and spent time working with Swiss Railways and the International Union of Railways in Paris. He has written a number of books and articles and lives in West Sussex.
