Overview 

After 24 years, the UK Government has announced the end of the rail franchising system. The move is expected to significantly shake things up within the industry.

This episode involves an interview with Sim Harris, Managing Editor at Railnews who brings his insights into the rail industry.

The interview explores the legacy of franchising, what will replace it, and what have been the impacts of Covid-19 on the rail sector. Sim also gives an insight into what we are likely to see come out of the Williams Rail Review. Finally, with the recent Stonehaven derailment when the Aberdeen to Glasgow service crashed after heavy rain and three people sadly died the interview looks at how the rail sector is managing when faced with climate change.
