Making Tracks Railway Podcast
Engineer Alasdair Stewart, Sharon Gregory and producer Laura Raymond meet experts and enthusiasts to talk trains, technology and infrastructure at historic, minor and quirky railways from around the world...
The ‘Making Tracks’ podcast is a blatant excuse for railway enthusiast Alasdair to spend more time talking to other track and infrastructure experts and take a deep dive into Heritage Railway projects world-wide.
From Civil Engineering Manager for the Welsh Highland Railway reconstruction, completing the final twelve mile phase from Rhyd Ddu to Porthmadog, to bridge construction on HS2, a theme park railway in South Korea and Mail Rail in London, Alasdair Stewart has built a reputation on having much more than a one track mind!
Sharon Gregory presents 'Railway Ride-outs' - visiting Heritage Lines by Harley - with lots of tips for the Biker Rail Enthusiast.
Produced by Journalist Laura Raymond
