How to Build a Railway is a twelve-part podcast series exploring the story behind the construction of the UK’s new high speed rail line.
From jobs and skills to Learning Legacy case studies, the HS2 project continues to provide good practice, innovation and lessons learned.
HS2 isn’t just about building a new piece of infrastructure, it’s an opportunity to connect communities, regenerate the economy and leave a lasting legacy of jobs and skills.
This episode of How to build a railway, 'Leaving a legacy', explores explores how HS2 is supporting the communities along the line of route and adopting lessons learned from past mega-projects.
Featuring
Natalie Penrose, Head of Legacy, explains how we’re creating a workforce that's fit for both now and the future, developing programmes to inspire young people into the industry as well as those previously out of work.
Dyan Crowther, CEO HS1, recalls her 35 years of experience in the rail industry and talks combating skills gaps and the shift in community views on projects like the Crossrail and HS1.
Kathy Elliott, Chair of Funds, Ground Works, takes us through the CEF and BLEF funding programmes and the support to get projects like Britain in Bloom and Warwickshire Arts Centre up and running.
Jonathan Bretherton, MD Urban Growth Company, explains the mission of the UGC and its development project of Arden Cross, an area near HS2’s Interchange Station that will include thousands of new homes, six million square feet of commercial development and brand new transport links.
And Alex Couchman and Sam Harris, HS2 Project Manager Apprentices, describe how the freedom and support from the programme has allowed them to explore the project, deepen their knowledge and ultimately find an area of work they’re most excited about.
