In this exclusive episode of The Transport Podcast, Christian talks to train drivers' union ASLEF's Assistant General Secretary - Simon Weller - about what really happened when the UK Labour Government came into power and negotiated a settlement of the long-running pay dispute [2:30], including exploring in detail the issues around Sunday working, why the Conservatives' anti-strike measures failed and how new proposals for Great British Railways may change the landscape.  There's also a flash of inspiration from Wolmar with a solution to the perennial problem of boarding passenger aircraft [32:10].
