Train strikes: Just when we thought it was over… & HS2 construction update | Ep 47

Train strikes – the fight we all thought was over, just became more heated than ever. We speak to ASLEF’s Mick Whelan to understand what’s gone wrong now.

Is it time to close the Island Line? We visit the Isle of Wight’s railway to find out.
