Tom was late into the studio today, due to a delay with his train. Luckily, our guest today is Ross who is a railway incident responder for Network Rail, which means he can tell us exactly why train delays might occur, and what he does to prevent them. In this episode, Joe and Tom learn why leaves and helium balloons can be a nightmare, how many cows it takes to derail a train, and discuss the current situation with train strikes.
