Podcast - Talking Transport

Episode 3 – Personal Security
In episode 3 we chat with Transport for London’s Director of Security, Policing and Enforcement Siwan Hayward about all things personal security and what TfL is doing to improve the safety of people travelling on its network. We discuss some of the collaborative campaigns our two organisations have worked on including encouraging active bystander behaviour, London TravelWatch’s research into violence against women and girls on transport and efforts to make reporting of sexual harassment and hate crime easier. Siwan discusses TfL’s latest efforts to refresh the active bystander campaign and how the newly created taskforce will help drive change through the collective effort of the numerous stakeholders involved.

Episode 2 – Talking Buses
In this episode, we sit down with Claire Walters, CEO of Bus Users UK – the body representing bus passengers across Great Britain outside of London. Claire walks us through 13 years running Bus Users including what’s improved for buses, what’s remained static and where, unfortunately, things are going backward.
