  • Summary

  • This week, Selby & Hamish dive into the fascinating yet frustrating world of railway maintenance on infrastructure dating back to the Victorian era. While these railways are rich in history, they present modern-day logistical nightmares when it comes to maintenance.

    In this episode, we explore the monumental challenges of keeping services running smoothly amidst ageing systems, massive data overload, and the complex task of forecasting maintenance needs. The ripple effects of a single issue can cause widespread delays, impacting both passengers and freight logistics. Add in unpredictable weather and the constant struggle for long-term funding, and you’ve got a perfect storm of issues for railway operators.

    Tune in as we unpack these layered challenges and discuss the balancing act of maintaining our historic railways in a fast-paced, modern world.
