In our debut episode, Chief Executive Michael Roberts and Chair Tricia Hayes talk us through 25 years of London TravelWatch. Covering topics including the final introduction of the Elizabeth line and its impact on the capital all the way through to free toilets, fares and ticketing, pushing for greater accessibility and calling out ever increasing digital exclusion preventing people from being able to use the transport network. With contributions from former colleagues and shoutouts to the work of our amazing casework team - there's plenty to get stuck into. Finally, we look ahead to what we expect to happen in the next quarter of a century. Will Great British Railways bring about the much needed changes and reforms to rejuvenate train travel in the 21st Century? And will AI turn everything on its head?
