3/6 Big in Japan! Plus a dramatic change of UK Transport Secretary
Christian and co-presenter Mark Walker examine the brief but spectacular tenure of Louise Haigh MP at the helm of the UK Department for Transport and ask what changes the past career and experience of new Secretary of State Heidi Alexander MP may bring [02:20]. Live from Tokyo, Christian reports on his experience of using the city's vast Metro system as well as Japan's pioneering high-speed Shinkansen main line network [15:30]. We have an interview with ASLEF President Dave Calfe on the rail drivers' union's new campaign for toilet and welfare facilities for train crew [36:50]. Finally, Christian asks whether Shanghai's maglev transport technology will find wider use [42:30].
