# Green Signals Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463.md RSS feed: https://anchor.fm/s/e87fffec/podcast/rss Official site: https://greensignals.org Author: Green Signals Productions Episodes: 234 ## Resource Green Signals is a show about railways - its politics, its economics, its people and history. We turn over the issues of the day and talk to the people making the decisions that affect all our lives. We also dig into many of the amazing events in the history of an industry that spans nearly 200 years. Nigel Harris (former Managing Editor and Events Director of the leading industry and opinion forming magazine RAIL) and Richard Bowker (former Chair & CEO of the Strategic Rail Authority) steer the show to make it sometimes controversial, frequently irreverent - but always topical and relevant. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/green-signals-6646463 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463.md ## Episodes - [I went behind the scenes on a luxury steam train holiday to the Alps!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463/i-went-behind-the-scenes-on-a-luxury-steam-train-holiday-to-the-alps) — 2026-07-14T11:10:42+00:00 - [144.
