## Resource

Christian speaks to legendary British Rail senior manager Chris Green OBE about the pioneering launch of the ScotRail business in the early 1980s, how this experience was than applied to Network South East across London and the surrounding counties and the lessons which could be learned by Great British Railways [1:24]. Turning to the future, Christian explores with Thomas Ableman of Freewheeling his study into how the integrated public transport model developed in Switzerland might be deployed in rural areas of Great Britain [36:11]. In his final thought from the departure lounge, Christian asks why the failed new highway scheme under Stonehenge has cost the taxpayer £179 million [52:30].
