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
Knowledgeable rail experts covering a wide range of topics.
For me a ‚Must‘ to listen to every week.
… and accidentally just stumbled upon this podcast but really helps me understand the complexity behind getting me to work and back home again at night.

A probing, policy-forward rail show that intercuts high-stakes industry debates with technical and historical context. Across recent episodes, conversations frequently center on governance, public ownership vs private operation, large-scale modernization efforts (including GBR, HS2, and integrated timetables), as well as the application of AI and data to safety, maintenance, and customer experience. Guests span regulators, operators, engineers, researchers, and policymakers, which yields a rich mix of candid industry analysis, practical case studies, and bold takes on future rail strategy. A standout trait is the willingness to challenge official narratives, compare reforms across time, and spotlight both heritage and innovation in rail.
