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.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-03T22:20:59.811451+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463"},"episode":{"title":"Charing Cross: Exclusive access to the track during a major rail renewal project","slug":"charing-cross-exclusive-access-to-the-track-during-a-major-rail-renewal-project","published_at":"2026-08-11T15:32:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463/charing-cross-exclusive-access-to-the-track-during-a-major-rail-renewal-project","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/green-signals-6646463","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/greensignals/episodes/Charing-Cross-Exclusive-access-to-the-track-during-a-major-rail-renewal-project-e3n8l9g","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/APO7479794833.mp3","summary":"It is one thing carrying out track renewals on the railway when it is being done away from urban centres. But when it is in the centre of the capital city on a section of railway that is amongst the busiest in the world, it is quite another. But that is exactly what Network Rail and South Eastern are doing in a major, 22 day blockade to replace track and rebuild platforms between Waterloo East and Charing Cross. And best of all, Green Signals was invited to go and walk the track to the works up close! Subscribe: If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. Better still, hit that subscribe button.
