In this month’s episode, Ben Harrison steps in for Andrew to discuss how transport

within and between cities contributes to the growth of UK plc. The discussion

touches on the Government’s plans for creating a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ and what

it might mean in practice, the controversy around HS2 and other big

investments, and the impact of the driverless car. Joining him are Dr Jon

Lamonte, Chief Executive of Transport for Greater Manchester, Vernon

Everitt, MD of Customer Experience, Marketing and Communications at

Transport for London, and Bridget Rosewell, Senior Advisor at Volterra

and a Non-Executive Director at Network Rail.
