Adam Sergent – modelling every tunnel in the UK

A lifelong passion for the railways led Adam to develop his career on the network. Today he is the founder of the Neurodiversity in Transport network and in 2024 was the Young Rail Professionals Volunteer of the year.

As a systems support manager he has developed a model profile of every tunnel in the UK that examines the acoustic characteristics of each tunnel. But why is this important? For people who may find tunnels distressing this exact profile of the tunnel can be shared with them before the train enters it. So loud bangs, pops and surges of air which some people may find distressing can be prepared for.
