The Architecture the Railways Built is back for a fourth series where we will see railway expert and train historian Tim Dunn exploring more stunning architecture that lines the railway network.             This new series celebrates the radical design and often challenging construction of many station buildings across the UK: from grand edifices in major cities to tiny rural stations serving small communities. But this show goes much further than stations, visiting any structure that's existence is owed to the railway: viaducts, signal boxes, underpasses, tunnels, and railway hotels. 
Tim gets special privileged access to places people don't usually get to see – including locations he's always dreamt of visiting.

Levellers have announced their brand new acoustic album Together All The Way, the follow-up to their 2018 Top 20 album We The Collective. The album will be available on Limited edition Red Vinyl and CD and can be pre-ordered here The first song ‘Down by the River ‘O’ is available now on all streaming platforms and was written by friend and collaborator Rev Hammer about the Great Flood of 1968 in Buntingford. The last ‘Collective’ album was recorded at Abbey Road with the legendary John Leckie five years ago and resulted in their highest chart position in twenty years. Levellers always planned to do another album where they acoustically reworked songs from their back catalogue, but eventually came to the conclusion not to try to top what they achieved with We The Collective but to go another way. So they decided to strip everything right back and go for a more traditional, folk approach as they reimagined various songs from their past. They reconvened the collective - this time with Sean Lakeman producing and Al Scott mixing - at their own Metway Studios in Brighton. Everything was recorded live, with the musicians playing through the songs until they had versions they were happy with.  Of the album and recording, the Levellers say, “It was truly a fun record to make, under the rigorous guidance of Sean. Sean’s a musician himself, always bringing ideas and get out of jail free suggestions when we got stuck. It’s a stripped-back, raw iteration of the collective with deep folk leanings. As energetic as the first one but definitely different.”  Levellers were joined again by Hannah and Ollie from the Moulettes on cello, vocals and percussion plus the mighty Dan Donnelly on his first official Levellers recording. Together All The Way is scheduled for release in March 2023, to coincide with the band’s acoustic tour of theatres and venues around the country, with special guests Moulettes (Duo), Wilswood Buoys and Jess Silk. Tickets are available from myticket.co.uk. And 2023 is an extra special year for the Levellers as not only do they celebrate 35 years of being a band, but it will also be the 20th Anniversary of their hugely acclaimed Beautiful Days Festival, one of the biggest independent music festivals in the UK.

Brett Preiss was born in a mining town in the hot, dry outback of Australia. With itchy feet and longing for sea air, he headed to the tropical east coast. It was the perfect place to go to university, surf, and eat his first mango. When he discovered there was a world beyond Down Under, he packed his bags, and for the next thirty years taught internationally in Japan, Germany and The Netherlands. He is an author, ESL teacher, musician and mindfulness instructor. He also loves to tell jokes and tap dance (not at the same time!). Before diving into the rich material his life provides, Brett entered the writing foray with his first book Go, Percy! Go!, which was published in English and then in Dutch as Hup, Peter! Hup! His second book, I'm Crazy About Holland Because . . . , was a chance to share his love for cows, cheese and clogs. He enjoys creating resources for educators, as well as writing fiction for children and adults. One of his favourite quotes is from an English author, Humphrey Carpenter: “The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks”.

Michael Ruggiero is a retired law enforcement officer with 35 years of experience, 31 of which were spent with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando, Florida. During his tenure, Ruggiero was involved in investigating major cases related to Narcotics, Sex Crimes, Internal, and Persons. He spent 10 years in Homicide as a detective and supervisor.
Ruggiero began training in Central Florida 20 years ago and has been teaching Interview and Interrogation for over 15 years in Advanced Training. In addition, he has been teaching courses in Death Investigations and Detecting Deception for the last 10 years. The Detecting Deception class, which he teaches to law enforcement officers around the U.S. through Public Agency Training Council (PATC.com), is a 2 ½ or 3-day class that focuses on the 3 ways people can be deceptive: writing, body language, and statement analysis (the words used).
Ruggiero formed his own training company, Police Training Institute, several years ago, and is also an instructor for PATC.com. In 2022, he authored a book titled “Uncover the Truth,” which provides insight into the skills of body language and statement analysis. These tools are not just useful for police, but for anyone conducting investigations or even those who are interested in detecting when people are deceptive.
Ruggiero is passionate about teaching and always strives to bring investigators to another level and enable them to utilize tools many didn’t know were available. He is currently in the process of writing a follow-up book on conducting more effective Interviews and Interrogations. His ultimate goal is to influence the way in which investigations are conducted in the future, by training investigators to do their job at a higher level.
