This Railway Rover episode now approaching takes a look at continental Europe's railways, particularly in western Europe. We're joined by Ambroise, a resident of Belgium, to introduce you to the railways across the (English) Channel and highlight some key comparisons. We discuss everything from the train operating companies themselves to the rolling stock and those double decker trains unheard of across the UK. This is a particularly insightful episode for anyone interested in the railways across Europe.

Today we're joined by Sean from WMTrainspotting to discuss a bit about Britain's various branch lines and regional routes. We take a look at the defining characteristics of these smaller lines, as well as the upgrades, particularly relevant to rolling stock, that these lines have seen recently. Britain's branch lines serve as the backbone for many small communities, and we also delve into the viability of operating regional services and what the re-nationalisation of the railway means for them.
