UK SUSTAINABLE RAILWAY MISSION TO TAIWAN

January 2018: Led by Lord Faulkner, the UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Taiwan, a UK sustainable railway mission visited Taiwan from 29 to 30 January to promote the UK’s capability in the operation and maintenance of railway and metro networks. Made up of 19 experts representing 14 British companies as well as a UK representative from Rail Industry Association(RIA), this mission was part of the “Innovation is GREAT” campaign launched by the British Office last October to introduce innovative British technologies and services to Taiwan. Steve Firstbrook, head of international trade and investment at the British Office in Taipei, accompanied the delegation, and can be seen in the image to the left on a visit to the disused Old Mountain Railway organised by Peter Lin (also pictured) of the Taiwan Railway Authority.
