Summary

With the UK Government publishing its much anticipated Railways Bill, Christian and co-presenter Mark Walker analyse what the legislation says about Labour's intentions for industry reforms and anticipate where controversy will flourish [1:10]. Christian meets Olympic and World championship legend Chris Boardman CBE at the launch of a pamphlet promoting access to cycling for people in deprived communities [25:40]. In his final thought from the departure lounge, Christian applauds the railway personnel, emergency services and health professionals who responded so magnificently to the incident at Huntingdon [33:04].
