Why train liveries matter more than they look in Railnatter 328
Britain’s proposed temporary train branding is the jumping-off point for a wider discussion about design, identity, and why the look of the railway matters. The episode also turns to major rail news, including the aftermath of the Urda high-speed crash in Spain and questions around signalling and accountability.
