Reading order of my papers to date

Having been very busy undertaking the AIR research project recently, I have had little time to update the Blog, apologies! However, Below is a suggested reading order for my research publications to date. While the topics have not been written in order, they form an overall story as to why the interfaces of railway-based systems and their enviornment should be effectively managed to enable future sustainability. If you would like to see any of these papers, please do let me know!
