In this episode, Kim McGuinness, North East Mayor, was in conversation with Julie Elliott, the former MP for Sunderland Central. In the wide-ranging discussion, the Mayor spoke about her experiences of using public transport growing up in the North East; her plans for franchising bus services and extending the Tyne and Wear Metro; improving safety for women and girls on the transport network; and how transport is an enabler - providing access to opportunities for all.
