• How British Rail gave us the USA’s newest high speed train | #Railnatter 277

  Following a wee hiatus from host knackeredness syndrome, we're back! And we're returning to our roots by talking all about British Rail's Advanced Passenger Train, and the corporate nonsense that took APT's tilting technology via about a dozen legal entities to slap it straight into the replacement Acela fleet this year! We also answer the question: was the Pendolino just the APT sold back to us? Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis. Merch at https://merch.railnatter.uk.

  In the second of our episodes focusing on disabled travel, we look at NCAT's latest report on the overall picture for accessible transport in the UK. It's not a rosy picture.

• This campaign made railways better for everyone | #Railnatter 275

  With ScotRail announcing that their new fleet procurement will include level "access" as well as a key report being published on progress with transport accessibility, it's the right time to revisit Episode 31 and see what progress has been made - and it is actually good news!

• 10 new railways to fix Devon and Cornwall | #Railnatter 274

  We're back! And we're doing some classic network analysis, this time for Devon and Cornwall. I knew this one would be hard, but making this network make sense is extremely tricky! In any case, we'll list off 10 railway projects the region needs, think about why and what they might look like in more detail. Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis.

• How to build your own train simulator | #Railnatter 273

  We're joined by Daisy from newly-formed ProCab Simulators as she tells us the tale of taking a bunch of bits, wires and programmes and turning them from a fire hazard into a working - and ACCESSIBLE - train cab that works with off-the-shelf train simulator games. It's a story of knowledge, networks, determination, ADHD and the rail industry stepping up! Plus a bit of news that's worth catching up with, including Czech driverless trains and the Messina Strait. To support Daisy's continuing projects, chip in £5 (10% goes to charity): https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QL1DM76W Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis.
