Last week I had the pleasure of travelling on the first scheduled passenger service through the newly grade-separated Werrington Junction with its impressive diveunder...

With the impacts of the "Integrated" Rail Plan still not really having settled in, government also decided to release the final paper of their Union Connectivity Review... This week's #RailNatter is taking a look!

Given that Sir Peter Hendy - a man with the genuine best interests of the railway at heart and the nous to keep it alive - has put his name to the report, there is surely something useful in here? Right?

Join LIVE to find out - it's yet another classic page-turn!

Tickets for the LIVE, IN-PERSON show on the 22nd January can be bought here (limited numbers available!): https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/railna...

It landed last week and it managed to be WORSE than the leaks had suggested - the Conservative government's Integrated Rail Plan cancelled the entire Eastern leg of HS2 and shredded the high speed line across the Pennines. Is there anything good in this document at all?

To find out, this dismal document needs to get the full #RailNatter page-turn treatment. I fear this one is going to be rowdy...

This week is a bad week for Britain's railways, but thankfully this week's #RailNatter comes the day BEFORE we get to read just how bad it is (we'll page-turn it next week)... Nevertheless, it gives us a chance to look at High Speed 2 again, and to understand why the eastern leg between Birmingham, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire, Leeds and the North East is its most important section.

Hate HS2? Come and tell me why and I'll tell you why you are probably wrong... In any case it's another Q&A session so do join LIVE to get stuck in!

It's #COP26, and (in a slight change to the schedule) this week's #RailNatter is going all green, as we have an open session talking about climate change and the different ways in which railways can play a major part in reducing GHG emissions.

It's a LIVE Q&A, so bring your questions and thoughts and we'll see what we can hash out together!

We've the pleasure of Jonn Elledge's company again tonight, as we both flick through a few of the old Crossrail proposal documents for a laugh, and as a way to distract ourselves from the dismal budget announcements...

When did the name come about? When was it got rid of again? How many serious route options have been considered? Where might the stations have been if not where they are now? All questions we may or may not answer!

Join LIVE to ask your questions and join in on the fun!
