The Big Interview - Rail Minister Huw Merriman: We ask him the questions you are all asking‪!‬ Green Signals

We meet Rail Minister Huw Merriman in his private office at the Department for Transport to ask as many of the big questions people have about our railways as we could.

We cover:

HS2 - the decision to cancel the line to Manchester, the facts about the project's rising costs, and whether Network North is a genuine alternative.

Train strikes - we ask "surely it's time that everybody started talking to each other?"

Fares and train tickets

Rail Reform and the creation of Great British Railways - will anything really happen before the next General Election?

And... Rail freight, new trains and decarbonisation

These are the rail issues everyone is talking about - and in this interview, we tackle them all. Head on.
