Today's podcast is from Burton-upon-Trent station in Staffordshire, and I am speaking about the state of the railways, and why I am despairing.I've based that on new strikes being called by the RMT union and the dispute surrounding it, which suggests to me that we are in for the long haul.It's not great for the future of the railways, and it's not great for the traveller.Of course, this podcast is free as is my weekly newsletter.
