'Calling All Stations' is the podcast for everyone with an interest in any form of transport.

Presented by Christian Wolmar - a leading transport journalist for over 25 years and author of 20 books - alongside Mark Walker, Chief Executive of transport-focused public affairs agency Cogitamus, 'Calling All Stations' examines all aspects of this diverse sector, from road to rail and cycling to flying as well as the wide range of wonderful (and more dubious) technological innovations promised by the industry.

We keep listeners up to date with the news as well as ensuring matters are viewed through a historical perspective.

While listening to the podcast is de rigueur for transport professionals, Christian's informed and relaxed style ensures there is no technical jargon, making it suitable for anyone with an interest in the sector's issues.

Christian's thrilling and informative cab ride with GB Railfreight is bookended by a discussion of the importance of Chris Skidmore MP's review of Net Zero for the UK Government and reflections on attempts to launch artificial satellites from Cornwall. There are also some harsh words for the unintended consequences of e-bike hire schemes.
