4/9 Wales’s rail vision plus Michael Portillo’s outlook
About this episode
As the Welsh Government publishes 'Today, Tomorrow, Together - A vision for rail across Wales and Borders', Christian speaks exclusively to Ken Skates MS, Cabinet Secretary for Transport & North Wales, about how train services are being envisioned as well as covering Welsh bus reform and the controversial 20mph speed limit policy for local roads [2:36]. Christian discusses with broadcaster and former minister Michael Portillo his love of railways, finding a surprising twist on his current political outlook [29:43]. In his final thought from the departure lounge, Christian examines progress in the pedestrianisation of London's Oxford Street [39:38].
