- Entertaining and Informative
Bye heck Richard I’m agog. I don’t know how many Pendalino launches there was but this pod cost covers all of them - and so much more. The hosts are entertaining and very easy to listen to. Complex issues are broken down so that anyone can understand. They often manage to get an interview with the leaders or politicians at the heart of the issue. I’ve been catching up on earlier episodes and have throughly enjoyed learning more how the railways are organised and run

Great podcast mixing business and a bit of gricing (more of the former for me please). But it’s so so quiet and almost impossible to hear when walking through London. Please adjust the volume
