In this episode, MUP's Trade Publisher, Kim Walker, speaks to researcher Tom Haines-Doran, author of Derailed: How to fix Britain's broken railways. They discuss Tom's lived experience of the nightmare that is Britain's rail network and, as a transport academic, how he’s turned his detailed knowledge of what’s gone wrong on the rails into a book - with some help from his fellow travellers.
