Delegate profile

Nicholas Lodge

The formal version of Nick Lodge, used when the route has become sufficiently serious to involve visas, open jaws, overnight trains or the possibility of recon. A man with a passport, a plan, and a dangerous affection for bleak rail.

Trips attended

2022 / Skopje, Macedonia
The Skopje edition restored overseas ICOM energy with monumental public art, Balkan logistics, and enough civic oddness for a respectable field file.
2018 / Baku and Ganja, Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijan edition: Baku, Ganja, Flame Towers, Caspian oddness, plov, oil-bath mythology, and a destination name that did not require much help.
2016 / Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan brought the delegation into Central Asia: Astana futurism, Almaty mountains, long distances, and the possibility that the route itself was the point.
2005 / Riga, Latvia
The opening entry in the institutional record. Riga begins the sequence that later becomes delegates, sanctions, white smoke, and the annual avoidance of normal holidays.
