The King’s Speech

We began with a discussion about Richard’s views on the King’s Speech and the announcement within that there will be a Draft Rail Reform Bill to legislate for Great British Railways.

Transport Select Committee

Richard and Nigel both appeared as witnesses at the Transport Select Committee’s oral evidence session on November 8th about ‘Was HS2 decision right?’ If you’d like to watch them both (and Episode 6 guest Andrew McNaughton) in action at the TSC, this is the full video. Be warned – some of the questions from committee members might induce shouting at your screen!
