Calling All Stations with Christian Wolmar, Episode 1

Wednesday Dec 14, 2022

Leading UK and international transport writer and journalist, Christian Wolmar, explores current issues across a range of modes including railways, cycling, autonomous vehicles and even space travel. He takes a deep dive into the underlying causes of - and possible solutions to - the ongoing wave of workforce strikes affecting the railways of Great Britain.

'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.
