All Aboard!

Vicki Pipe is an improviser, presenter, YouTuber and now author. Her first book, The Railway Adventures: Places, Trains, People and Stations was published in October 2018. In 2017 Vicki travelled to every railway station in Great Britain with her partner Geoff Marshall. They filmed the entire experience, sharing vlogs on YouTube – now watched by more than 6 million people. Her spin-off series, Vicki Explores, sees her journeying across the country in pursuit of more adventure, looking for those places where history really happened. Her interest in the railways lays with the stories of people, social change and how the railways impact on our sense of space and surroundings. Joe Bucco studied illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design, and after spending some time in New York returned to his home town of Cleveland where he lives with his wife and two children. As well as illustrating children’s books, he has worked in graphic novels, comic books, greeting cards, and stage design.
