Restid Mark Selby
-
- Society & Culture
Restid (with an ”i”) explores travel time, rather than destinations. We enjoy the stories of journeys, the theatre of travel, and discover how people use their travel time.
And why so many embrace shared transport as a lifestyle choice rather than just a mode of travel.

Ep 9: Different Perspectives
David Hockney's "Bigger and Closer" and the state of 'sonder', in which each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member and an extra in overlapping stories. With Sir Anthony Hopkins, John Steinbeck, the Magna Carta and the birthday problem. The joy and surprises of bus and train travel.

Ep 8: All Change
Starting is easier than stopping. Agents of change, building trust, mutual respect and civility on the platforms of shared, public transport and transit. As Churchill once said "Why do we regard history as of the past and forget we are making it?"

Ep 7: The Eyes on the Bus
Safe and secure with strangers, surprising adventures, parking in a bus lane, the joys of the Far North Line (https://www.fofnl.org.uk/) and remember, there are more of us.

Ep 6: Making and Saving Money
The creative ways that people use to make and save money, riding on buses and trains. This episode includes a magic bus, a convent of arthritic nuns, parking in Amsterdam, John LeCarre, Duke Ellington and more. The opportunities to explore and earn are there to be grasped.
