  More of the green energy should be used for urban trains as they are more efficient than cars and buses.

  It would make good sense for Great British Railways to reach agreement with National Grid to fund the rollout of rail electrification to match Switzerland.

  Great discussion. It always seems to me that the WCML is considered a poor cousin of the ECML. It strikes me as odd that if Manchester-London route is the most important revenue flow as you say, then why does the Government disregard it so much? Maybe I’m not being fair but that’s how I feel with the cancellation of the HS2 phase 2 Love hearing your anecdotes! (No need to ask me what my favourite railway is - Ffestiniog obviously!)

  The answer for the quiz would be Sir Peter Parker, who was the Chairman of BR in the 70s/80s. Another great show - really enjoyed the section on trespass, as it's just so important to get the message out there on why it's so important to be safe and responsible on the railway. Really looking forward to the interview with Andy Byford on the 2nd, given all the great work he's done.

  Nigel, Richard and Stef, another belter of a podcast, they really do get better and better, thank you! I can completely endorse Richard's comments regarding his experience with the Midland Pullman. I've been lucky enough to savour two trips on it, one to Paignton last year, and the other to Fort William in 2022. The train itself is a real head-turner wherever it goes. The service on board is second to none; nothing is too much trouble and the staff are never still! It's also nothing short of miraculous how those gourmet meals are prepared in the confines of the kitchen car and served up beautifully, all whilst being jostled around at high speed! Well done to absolutely everyone at LSL! Equally well done to the three of you, thank you!:

  Great interview with Tony Bush at LSL. Incredible what they due with a mark1. Think the short Midland Pullman will be a winner. I would have thought they might be interested in the pair 477xx shove duffs at HNRC. As the one they hire will not be fitted with new signalling systems by the owning group. As the concept seems a winner. Plus the rebuilt locos would be ready to go by then. I also think they need an East Coast base. Perhaps a joint working operation with established company they already have links with.

  Another great episode. Regarding the difficult topic of trespass in the wake of the CPKC final spike tour, I noticed earlier this week that Ed Dickens, who leads Union Pacific's steam programme over in the States, shared a new emblem aimed at educating people to keep back trackside. UP is taking its 4014 Big Boy locomotive on a multi-state tour in Aug/Sep and the effort is about encouraging people to stay 25 feet back. I think Ed would be a great person for Green Signals to interview someday. Maybe you can blag a trip to Cheyenne!

  As always great episode. The partnership between LSL and SRPS sounds like an exciting thing for Scottish railtours. Looking forward to the full interviews with Andy Byford and Paul Lewin. To pickup on Nigel’s comment about Paul putting his had to his heart when discussing the FWHR, as a Ffesty myself it certainly does find its way right into your core. It’s special that’s for sure. What happened in Mexico was truly awful. Trespassing is a real problem and you’re right us enthusiasts are not free from blame. Congrats on the 4000 mark! No surprise because your “blathering” as you call it is really compelling. Interesting, well thought and highly knowledgeable discussion with a bit of banter - what’s not to love! 🎉🎉

  'Green Signals' just gets better and better. I now find it compelling viewing. The interviews with senior railway managers, visits to depots and railway works are fascinating, and have helped to broaden my knowledge and understanding of what goes on behind the scenes. I've also enjoyed a memorable day out with my wife on the Midland Pullman (Berwick-upon-Tweed to Fort William) and concur whole heartedly with Richard's comments about the train and, more importantly, the professionalism of its staff. Looking forward very much to seeing how the LSL/SRPS partnership develops.

  I am a relative newcomer to your very interesting channel. Compelling viewing for sure. Needless to say, I like trains but I cannot claim to be nerdy about them. I was introduced by my son via his earlier suggestion to watch Don Cofey's channel. I have learned a lot about train journey management, and the variety of signalling systems and enjoy the very relaxing countryside scenery. Green Signals, I like the title, is of a different order. Informed discussions about the nuts and bolts of railway management, train making, preservation societies, inevitably politics and much else delivered in a warm, friendly manner leavened with plenty of humour. Compelling viewing and a lesson for those channel presenters who boringly spew multiple facts without taking a breath. I am a confirmed regular and to my surprise, my wife watches attentively.

  Concerning the Tories coming in a distant last in your poll in which you asked viewers to vote on which party had the manifesto most beneficial to rail, it's hardly surprising. Since Thatcher that party has largely and consistently been pro - car , pro - road and anti-public transport and especially anti-rail. We've seen the most vital leg of HS2 cancelled ( Handsacre to Manchester ), the strategically vital Derby works brought to the edge of closure by ministerial dithering, and endless foot-dragging on genuinely setting up Great British Railways rather than simply talking about it. Oh, and thanks for the shout out. Yes I did watch some of the T20 cricket here and very good it was too, with a full and of course lively stadium with plenty of drama , even though the West Indies team were playing their matches in other countries nearby.

  Most manifestoes are wish lists by politicians who wish to be elected! To have meaning a manifesto must have clearly defined aims with specific deliverables, i.e., things that can be measured. The Mayor of West Yorkshire, stated in her election campaign that if elected she would deliver a public transport system to match London. In addition, she emphasised, if the aims were not delivered, she wouldn't deserve a second period in office. However, the promise was not delivered, but Tracy was re-elected for a further term. It seems the public accepted the failure in good grace, or were just plain gullible?

  Wrt safety of members of the public around trains, thinking about the safety of the platform edge is instructive. If someone falls from a platform when a train is arriving then the likely result is death or life changing injury - similar outcome to falling from a cliff. So why would people respond differently to the two hazards? People are wary of heights thanks to millions of years of evolution - railways haven't been around long enough, so safety needs to be more of a learned behaviour

•

  It's a very thoughtful question. Why would you respond differently to two similarly serious dangers. I suspect the difference in perceived risk is the reason. Education critical.

  Brilliant interview with Tony Bush. His professionalism was evident. I didn't realise just how much work had been put into the Mk.1 coaches, but after hearing his description, I would have no fears about safety in one of his company's vehicles. On the topic of trespass, I have seen many railways around the world where there is no lineside fencing (e.g., USA, Switzerland, New Zealand, etc.) yet most people do not feel the urge to walk on the tracks, yet in Britain people seem to disengage their brain cells. I know that Brightline in Florida has a problem with cars on crossings, but that is American driving for you! Any thoughts on this subject?

• 
  @GreenSignalsКүн бұрын

  Totally agree Mervyn. I had no idea either how much they had done to their Mk1's and it's impressive. Re Brightline, it's a really good question. might be worth trying to get someone on the show who knows about cars on crossings. We will get on it! Cheers. Richard

  In terms of trespass. BTP used to do a lot of visits to schools and did organise trips. I got some old primary school photos in the attic when we visited swansea station and the btp offices there. We had a trip on a hst from Bridgend and back and it was brilliant. Problem is now the photos and videos we were shown then parents would kick off if they were shown now but they diddrive home the message. I've been teaching my 4yr old to make shureshe knows how to behave if she's with me and my wife etc catching a train or coming out to photograph trains with me. People always got excuses and I think a tougher line needs to be taken

  Good evening guys 😊 What another cracking episode especially the interview with Tony from SLS 👍🏻 I did the Blue Pullman to Oban from Preston and I must say like you Richard the service was second to none even in first class. It was a very long day at 21 hours for my wife doing her hair at 03.30 lol 😂 Sad about railway trespassing as my daughter is a BTP officer at Network Rail Manchester and has cleaned up many times 58:57 afterwards. Not nice 😢 Years ago we had to wait monthly or weekly for your favourite magazine to appear in your local shop.

Shocking trespass stories but some people just don't understand the danger. Trouble is you can't police the whole lineside for moving trains compared to items in a museum.

  Thanks guys; another great podcast. Interesting that LSL is seen, in some quarters, as the charter operator to hate. But I found Tony very posiitive and professional. I think there is an untapped charter market in Scotland (running them was a part of the Abellio Bid). Interesting item from Alistair Dalton in the Scotsman about the former LNER 'Beaver Tail' Observation Car operated by the Strathspey Railway suggests there is demand out there.

  @@GreenSignals Yes, spent some time with Abellio on their successful franchise Bid, in the end it fell to politics, but we were acutely aware of the potential arising out of the tourist market. Whilst their bid reflected that with a small programme of steam haulded specials. But, we always had to keep in mind that it was just an anciliary activity.
