This week we are looking at the proposals of the Liverpool-Manchester Railway Board, the collective of combined and local authorities across the north west of England wanting to finish off the Manchester bits of HS2 as well as the western end of whatever the trans-Pennine high speed line is called today. We'll also be talking about Great British Railways and its latest hint at branding in our new, as-yet unnamed back-end segment! Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis.
