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.
