ALISHAN FOREST RAILWAY, TAIWAN
![]() At the end of September I visited Taiwan as President of the Heritage Railway Association (HRA), but also in the position I hold as the British Government's Trade Envoy to Taiwan. I represented the HRA at the signing of a friendship agreement between the Alishan Forest Railway and the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway on 28 September. Those shown in the image are L to R - Lord Shutt of Greetland (vice chair parliamentary all-party heritage rail group), Steve Clews (chair of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway), Steve Firstbrook (head international trade and investment, British Office, Taiwan), Michael Reilly (former British representative in Taipei and now secretary of the W&LLR).
