Green Signals is a show about railways - its politics, its economics, its people and history. We turn over the issues of the day and talk to the people making the decisions that affect all our lives. We also dig into many of the amazing events in the history of an industry that spans nearly 200 years. Nigel Harris (former Managing Editor and Events Director of the leading industry and opinion forming magazine RAIL) and Richard Bowker (former Chair & CEO of the Strategic Rail Authority) steer the show to make it sometimes controversial, frequently irreverent - but always topical and relevant.

Away from the politics and the noise, from the debates about costs and benefits, the various teams at HS2 are quietly and diligently getting on with delivering some of the most remarkable engineering achievements this country has ever seen. Today, we have come to visit a section of railway that has more than its fair share of amazing engineering – from the West Ruislip portal of the western section of Northolt Tunnel to Copthall Tunnel and the Colne Valley viaduct.

In West London, London’s new mega station is taking shape. At Old Oak Common, a brand new 14 platform super hub railway station is rising from the ground and when complete, it will transform train travel. The 6 platforms for the semi underground HS2 station are nowbuilt, and Green Signals has been invited along to take an exclusive look. And it’s fair to say, it’s breathtaking!
Finally, after years of inaction, it does finally look like there’s change coming to Channel Tunnel rail services between London, Paris and potentially many more destinations besides. There are brand new operators on the cards such as Virgin Trains, Gemini and Trenitalia. There’s the possibility of new trains as well as new services. There could be new capacity at St Pancras International, new depots to maintain trains – and there’s even talk of reopening Ebbsfleet and Ashford in Kent. Eurostar are getting in on the act as well with new trains and possibly new services too. And perhaps most remarkable of all, the Scottish Government are going to see if there’s a market for night sleeper services from Scotland to mainland Europe. We talk to Jon Worth, the popular independent EU Rail policy commentator, writer and campaigner to talk about the latest developments.
24 hours of north west rail chaos following a power cut. Do mega signalling centres put too many eggs in too few baskets? East Midlands Railway – is there light at the end of the tunnel?

It is one thing carrying out track renewals on the railway when it is being done away from urban centres. But when it is in the centre of the capital city on a section of railway that is amongst the busiest in the world, it is quite another. But that is exactly what Network Rail and South Eastern are doing in a major, 22 day blockade to replace track and rebuild platforms between Waterloo East and Charing Cross. And best of all, Green Signals was invited to go and walk the track to the works up close! Subscribe: If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. Better still, hit that subscribe button.

The North Norfolk Railway is one of Britain’s most delightful heritage railways. Beautifully preserved in an Edwardian time capsule, a visit to the North Norfolk Railway evokes memories of a long-gone Britain – of long, lazy summer days and holidays by the beach. Stef and Richard recently went to visit the railway and have a look behind the scenes at what it takes to keep this marvellous railway in such superb condition. They even manage to find time to visit the beach and enjoy fish and chips – out of the wrapper of course! The North Norfolk Railway truly is a “steam train to the seaside”.

The Rother Valley Railway is a remarkable project to restore a missing 3.5 mile link to reconnect the Kent & East Sussex Railway with the London – Hastings main line at Robertsbridge. When it’s complete, this 14 mile long railway will take visitors through some of England’s most beautiful countryside past Bodiam Castle to Tenterden. The Rother Valley Railway recently passed a major milestone with the opening of Robertsbridge station and the rededication of the link to Network Rail. Naturally, Green Signals went along to join in the fun and met, amongst others, Lord Hendy, Huw Merriman, John Smith of GB Railfreight and Suzy Eddie Izzard, the Actor and Comedian.
