EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, we are transported back to the 1950s, capturing a heartwarming moment during a train journey. Seated in a cozy train carriage, a man and young girl enjoy refreshments while on an outing organized by Laings London office to Bournemouth. The man is engrossed in reading the special coronation edition of Team Spirit, perhaps catching up on the latest news or sports updates. This image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Laing - their commitment to fostering strong relationships with their employees and creating memorable experiences. It showcases how even during business trips, they prioritize moments of leisure and bonding. The young girl's expression radiates pure joy as she savors her day trip adventure. Rail travel was undoubtedly an exciting mode of transportation for her, offering new sights and sounds along the way. As part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20, this print serves as a testament to preserving our rich history. It allows us to reflect upon childhood memories, people's connection through shared experiences like rail travel, and captures that unmistakable "Laing spirit". With its nostalgic charm and timeless appeal, this image transports us back to simpler times when train journeys were filled with anticipation and wonderment – reminding us all of cherished moments from our own pasts.
