Welcome to Green Signals - an introduction to the show!

Very entertaining. Please wind your GNR clock up for the next episode though.😊

Great stuff, chaps, looking forward to some more!

Very interesting points, looking forward to seeing more!

Is confused British for "totally clueless"? Our US state and federal politicians can't find their way to the loo absent GPS.

Very interesting, but how do we get these points re HS2 to the GOVERNMENT, of whatever political party ? ?

Just working my way through your back catalogue having been recommended to your podcast by a friend.

I am proud to say I was part of the rail industry (S&T Engineering) from 1977 to 2018, when I retired.

It saddens me immensely to see the current railway run ragged by people who don’t know one end of a piece of rail from the other.

I look forward to seeing your podcasts going forward and to seeing / hearing your thoughts on the idea of GBR and lots of other things..

You really do need to advertise your podcast more widely to get your viewing figures up and help more people (politicians in particular) understand how rail benefits the UK economy.

Best wishes to you both from an ex BR / Jarvis Rail / Network Rail man.

Until I retired was Chief Engineer in coal fired power plants. The reports from neighbours of the WHR of acrid smoke coming from steam locos is very likely caused by using coal with a high sulphur content. Welsh coal was typically low sulphur, typically less than 0.5 %, low volatile and high calorific value. Yorkshire coal mostly differed with higher volatiles.
I experienced using coal supplies in Canada with a sulphur content above 5%. Initially the SO² stack emissions were very high and often visible. On occasion atmospheric conditions would caused problems for neighbours. The solution was to use limestone in the combustion process. Probably not very viable in steam locomotives.
I would advise, that WHR conduct, at a minimum, a proximate analysis of the fuel being used. They should also request one in the purchasing process.
