Tim Dunn is a broadcaster, historian, geographer and marketer. As a broadcaster he is best known for presenting three TV series of the critically-acclaimed The Architecture the Railways Built for UKTV's Yesterday channel, and co-presenting BBC's infamous Trainspotting Live.
He frequently works with many UK museums (including the London Transport Museum), train operating companies and heritage railways to present their own live social media broadcasts. He is also Travel Editor for Europe's leading independent rail app and website, Trainline.
As a historian he has curated exhibitions on miniature railways and model architecture, written two books. contributes features to magazines and national newspapers, and is a regular commentator on TV and radio regarding historic transport matters. A key theme through all his work is opening doors to perceived niche topics with unbounded enthusiasm - bringing people along on unexpected journeys. Working again with the ace Siddy Holloway, LTM and TfL teams on Secrets of the London Underground is yet another example of finding delight and intrigue in the unseen everyday.
Even in his spare time, Tim is rarely far from transport infrastructure and museums. He has served as a trustee or board director for the British Postal Museum & Archives, the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum and the Miniature Railway Museum Trust.
