Listen in to The World Tonight on Radio 4 at 22:30 to hear @railnigel discussing a big rail story. All to be revealed later tonight...
Drumroll please... Our next Big Interview is out tomorrow at 12pm. Be prepared for some fascinating inside stories as a former Government insider lifts the veil on everything from HS2 to business cases & how public finance really works. See if you can guess who it might be...
It's new episode day! Set your alarms, clear your diary, put those Do Not Disturb signs on your door. 12pm on youtube.com/@GreenSignals and all your favourite podcasting platforms. You won't want to miss this one...
We know it's a day later than normal... but we promise it was worth the wait! Episode 28 is here - the Jacobite steam train stand-off is heating up big time... and we analyse our interview with @AlstomUK MD Nick Crossfield. Some important stuff this time. youtu.be/_Vr3cM2Xhkg
Here it is... @SRichardBowker's interview with @AlstomUK MD Nick Crossfield. A story of government and civil service bureaucracy, procrastination, and world-class dithering. It's still possible to save Derby... but it's 1 minute to midnight. Watch now: youtu.be/aRLaioz1ZB8
Coming tomorrow… interview with @AlstomUK MD Nick Crossfield on the desperate situation in Derby – a knife edge between oblivion and becoming a global centre of train building excellence. But @transportgovuk must act now. Subscribe on YT to watch tomorrow youtube.com/@GreenSignals
Episode 27 is here! Is UK train building in jeopardy after Alstom announces mothballing at Derby? @westcoastrail’s dispute with @railandroad rumbles on. And is @labour about to do a u-turn on rail nationalisation policy? Watch it now: youtu.be/x40gHw8wP4M
Subject to any last minute changes, I should be on “Wake Up to Money” (@bbc5live ) at 05h30 and @BBCr4today at 06h15 tomorrow, Thursday 4th, to discuss the problems facing the train manufacturing sector in the UK. The recent announcement from @AlstomUK has serious implications.
Our latest episode (26) is proving to be popular! Big topic of the show was @westcoastrail and @railandroad and the ongoing issue over central door locking on trains. Here's a little clip if you missed it... Watch it here if you want to put that right! youtu.be/nI17O46G8no?si…
Episode 26 has arrived! West Coast Railway Company stops sales of its Jacobite steam train tickets, @andy4wm and @AndyBurnhamGM unveil their alternative to HS2, but it is viable? @ASLEFunion announces more strikes... & rail passenger numbers are up 20%! youtu.be/nI17O46G8no
We've posted a new video! Something a bit different this time as @railnigel takes us for a ride on the @festrail Gravity Train! It's a great little video about the history of the train and what you can experience today. youtu.be/-A7sZVgct3E
Coming up on today's episode of Green Signals... get ready for 12pm. If you haven't already subscribed on YouTube, head over now and turn on notifications so we can let you know when it's out: youtube.com/@GreenSignals
Nice one Bessie - well deserved!
It's new episode day! Ep 24. We discuss what the Budget means for rail... spoiler alert - not a lot! The @NAOorguk unflattering report on @transportgovuk, which is reorganising! & Grand Union's open access rights, which @SRichardBowker isn't a fan of... youtu.be/UoMwoO00Hbk
Ep 24 is out tomorrow at 12pm, so set those alarms, carve out some time. Better still, subscribe on YouTube & turn on notifications! youtube.com/@GreenSignals And... if you join our mailing list we'll send you weekly emails of what's new & some extra goodies greensignals.org/#mailinglist
Warning - major rail thread to follow! It’s been a tough week for DfT. First, @NAOorguk published a damning report making clear DfT had made a hash of pretty much every aspect of rail ‘reform’ since the Williams Plan was published. The NAO concluded “DfT is not yet (1/12)
Very exciting day here at Green Signals! Our latest video is out and @SRichardBowker and his brother Paul take a trip on a @GWRHelp Pullman dining train to find out all about it. They chat to staff, watch steak being cooked on the train, it's great! youtu.be/6fHub4_Vkb0
Last week, we invited @AvantiWestCoast and @AmanthaKing to join us on @greensignallers to talk about menopause support on the railway. It was a great chat about an overlooked topic. Please RT & help lift the veil of silence on this one! Full video here: youtu.be/2Nbj6y144F8
Episode 22 is out! We ask whether the Local Transport Fund is really levelling up? The brilliant @henrimurison joins us to talk NPR… & we discuss the human factor affecting all of us that we just don't talk about. Watch it now: youtu.be/5EDguRMuoDs
Get ready for a very important Green Signals episode drop at 12pm... It's another Big Interview... it's not to be missed. If you're not already subscribed on our YouTube channel (youtube.com/@GreenSignals) or following us on Spotify/Apple/Amazon - now's the time!

Thank you. I’ll hold my hand up to understated but let others decide on wisdom. Meanwhile, I hope we all do what we can to encourage the green shoots of a new Birmingham to Manchester line.
Excellent editorial analysis from @philatrail showing good people synthesising a recovery plan for connecting our great northern cities from the ashes of Sunak’s hopeless decision. This @RAIL comment is a refreshing change with Haigh’s understated wisdom getting proper air
Blimey. I had forgotten that day: the last slam-door train at Waterloo. Thanks for finding it - not seen this in a couple of decades! @DriverPotter - one for you!

After 30 years today is my last day at the BBC. When I came off air last October, I took on a news editor role on a trial basis but I’ve decided to take redundancy. I have so many fond memories - reporting, presenting, pantos, charity bike rides, etc. Thanks for being part of it.

WE GOT THE WIN ON CHILD BENEFIT! Chancellor tipped me off before budget, said this was due in large to MSE/my shows campaigning all based on all those of your who messaged me to say it was the key thing to put to him So 1) From this April threshold which hasn't moved since 2013…
Just starting writing this week's MSE email, going to lead on High Income Child Benefit Charge as it's budget week - to try and hope the Chancellor does something about what he admitted to me was an "unfairness" in the system penalising single parent and single earner families.
Wonderful. I urge the new 'directing mind' to commission @TomTheDoodler to produce a 21st century set of these as part of the railway renaissance we are confident will come....

@railnigel @YouTube Just finished listening: this was superb. An adult conversation: asking clear, sometimes challenging, questions. Then giving the interviewee the time and space to answer. No talking over them. Always polite. So refreshing compared to what we usually see in the mainstream media.
@railnigel I’ve listened to it twice! 😀 Good bit of railway journalism, well done to you and SRB… and a lesson for current and future students of railway industrial relations.
This is a delight. A friend gave me the Great Western Railway Rule Book from 1933. Complete with personal amendments from the driver added over the years. What strikes me: there is still much in common with today’s rules.
