Simon Calder on Politicians and the Future of Transport

I’m joined on The Freewheeling Podcast this week by Simon Calder, Travel Editor of The Independent. No-one knows transport better than Simon; having been watching over the sector since 1994. He’s met every transport secretary since I was a schoolboy and is passionate about bringing the joys of travel to as many people as possible. We talk about the best transport secretaries of the last quarter-century, the weaknesses of the current Government and ponder the future of transport as we emerge from the pandemic. Simon brings his trademark enthusiasm to a lively and wide-ranging discussion. Simon Calder is on Twitter at @simoncalder
