• The real reason HS2 died | #Railnatter 280

  Back in June the Stewart Review suggested a series of reasons why Britain's embryonic domestic high speed railway line was tripping over its shoelaces. Today, we dig into that report, with the usual useful context on its author and its subject matter. Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis. Merch at https://merch.railnatter.uk.

• The city that’s choking itself to death | #Railnatter 278

  A city I love and have travelled to many times for a decade now - Belgrade is a melting pot of culture, art and architecture, food and fun. And yet it is being poisoned by corruption, greed and car dominance. The result is a dying city - and a warning to the UK, given our cities are taking exactly the same trajectory.

• How British Rail gave us the USA’s newest high speed train | #Railnatter 277

  Following a wee hiatus from host knackeredness syndrome, we're back! And we're returning to our roots by talking all about British Rail's Advanced Passenger Train, and the corporate nonsense that took APT's tilting technology via about a dozen legal entities to slap it straight into the replacement Acela fleet this year! We also answer the question: was the Pendolino just the APT sold back to us? Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis. Merch at https://merch.railnatter.uk.
