Description

What happens when a rail consultant unexpectedly becomes an MP?

In this episode, I talk to Olly Glover MP about the chaos of election night, the shock of landing in Parliament and what the job of an MP really involves.

We explore why innovation is hard in legacy sectors like rail, and how the UK’s political system both helps and hinders progress.

Olly shares his frustrations with UK transport policy, his thoughts on rolling electrification and why he can’t stand Prime Minister’s Questions.
