Came upon this recent edition of the podcast on YouTube featuring Mark Hopwood CBE.
Well worth a listen as are the other episodes so far

I would agree, they are very informative. Last week covered the Ticket Office shambles with Mark Smith - The Man in Seat 61.

Both Nigel Harris and Richard Bowker gave evidence to the Transport Select Committee yesterday being invited after their episode on HS2▸ (The next High Speed line(s)). This is also worth a watch but is 2.5 hours long.

The Green Signals Mark Hopward interview with Richard Bowker and Nigel Harris, he talks about the growth in so-called leisure travel and does he immediately flag that he's constrained from making business decisions to introduce new services to take advantage of this?

In any case, Mark Hopwood immediately flags Bristol to Oxford direct services as being the sort of move he'd like to take - especially given that East West Rail's well on the way - but then points out to him that it was Richard Bowker that required that GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) cease running it.
