  • #Railnatter Episode 240: What we must learn from the Grenfell Tower disaster
    In what I expect to be a sobering but incredibly important episode, we will be picking up the Phase 2 Report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. We'll go through the events leading up to the disaster, and the many chances we had to avoid it happening. We'll look at the role of government, of the various building and housing regulators, of the private interests in testing and marketing the cladding products, and of the tenant management organisation. We'll also look at safety management and the oversight of the refurbishment project, as well as the response to the disaster. Lastly, we'll look at the recommendations to see which ones directly and indirectly apply to transport and the rail industry. I've no doubt there will be a lot to learn. Enjoyed this?

  • #Railnatter Episode 239: Vancouver's SkyTrain and what we can learn from it
    I'm delighted to say we're joined this week by genuine Vancouverite Cariad Heather Keigher, who takes us on a tour of the SkyTrain and the messy history that created it. Don't worry though - it's actually very good! We chart the fall of the interurbans and the rise of this not-a-gadgetbahn system as it grew across the city, and consider what's next in store for Vancouver. There's a lot for us to learn, positive and negative, and it's all wrapped up in this week's episode. Enjoyed this?

  • #Railnatter Episode 238: How a Sheffield Crossrail would boost South Yorkshire
    Okay, so if by Crossrail we mean high capacity suburban rail - yes. And in this episode we'll look at exactly what that might look like for Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire area. There will be maps! Enjoyed this? Please do consider supporting #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis or throw loose change at me via https://paypal.me/garethdennis.

  • #Railnatter Episode 237: Bad budget, worse election (it's a news ep/struggle sesh)
    We've an awful lot of news to get through, not least the horrible budget from last week and the dismal election results in the US announced today. Those big stories aren't all of what we'll cover, though. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on that's worth us all talking about together! Enjoyed this?

  • #Railnatter Episode 236: Are cars really the future of green transport? (NO!)
    In October 2024, the supposedly left-leaning Resolution Foundation released a report into the role of electric cars and public transport in reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions to zero. The report was... awful. And in this episode, we'll pick through why via a traditional page-turn! Enjoyed this?
