brickcellphoneHOST
Yeah, very, very pleasant.
brickcellphoneHOST
I'm not going to give props to Thameslink just yet, but as far as journeys go, declassified first class.
brickcellphoneHOST
You know, you've
Greg StanleyHOST
got to stop telling people about that.
Mark AdderleyHOST
And there's always, it's just that you just think, I don't know why, public trains and national rail services, you just think, oh my God.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
Just recently, the Thameslink one.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Yeah.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
When it crashed.
Richard BowkerHOST
whilst the driver remains in the cab for supervision and intervention if required.
Richard BowkerHOST
It's the same system as currently fitted and operating on the Thameslink core in central London.
Richard BowkerHOST
The driver takes us at the test track first in manual mode and then back in automatic train operation mode.
Richard BowkerHOST
The difference is quite dramatic.
Maisie AdamGUEST
There's so many times where, you know, you have to leave your own house at three o'clock because you need to be in a certain town or city for a gig.
Maisie AdamGUEST
So you're like, right, well, I don't want to have yet another meal deal on the Thameslink.
Maisie AdamGUEST
I'll get there and have a quick bite to eat.
Maisie AdamGUEST
And you try and find a great little local and you sit and have your dinner on your own and hope that no one spots you off the EasyJet magazine.
Holly RubensteinHOST
It's so true.
Holly RubensteinHOST
Is there anything that you, do you have any traditions or kind of things that you'd always try and order or favourites on the Thameslink?
Maisie AdamGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I learned really early on.
Maisie AdamGUEST
When you're like working up through the clubs, things like the Glee Clubs, which are in quite a few cities in the UK and Comedia here in Brighton, but these big comedy clubs, it feels a real moment when you get booked by them and they put you backstage and they go, and if you want any food, just let us know.
Richard BowkerHOST
Siemens Mobility is one of the world's leading providers of rail systems, bringing together rolling stock, rail infrastructure, rail services and software solutions.
Richard BowkerHOST
In the UK, three manufacturing facilities and over 30 sites employ more than 5,500 people who, amongst other things, design, deliver and maintain digital signalling and electrification systems for the East Coast Main Line and Trans-Pennine routes, digital signalling and information systems for the Elizabeth Line, digital mainline trains for Thameslink and brand new tube trains for London's Piccadilly line.
Richard BowkerHOST
Siemens Mobility UK and Ireland is led by joint CEOs Aglaya Schneider and Rob Morris.
Richard BowkerHOST
I met up with them at Innotrans 2026 in Berlin, on board one of the stars of the show, a 2024 Piccadilly line tube train whose air conditioning system was working overtime in the glorious hot weather.
13 MINS LATER
Aglaya SchneiderGUEST
For example, we did a great project with the Class 360s where we did a full refresh and modification at midlife, the trains look like really literally new from inside.
Aglaya SchneiderGUEST
So that's a great example of what we can do with existing stock and really making it look and feel brand new.
Aglaya SchneiderGUEST
We have also obviously deployed and tested our ETCS solution on Thameslink, running through the core, really being able on running on the same infrastructure, more trains just with digital signalling solutions.
Aglaya SchneiderGUEST
So I believe there's one point of getting more new rolling stock into the system and into the market, which is extremely important.
Nick AbbotHOST
On the railways, the following companies warned of disruption because of the storm.
Nick AbbotHOST
Southwestern Railways, Southern, Thameslink, Great Western Railway, Northern Rail, Cross Country and Gatwich Express, which sounds like all of them to me.
BrendanAUDIENCE
Correct.
Nick AbbotHOST
If you were flying away, suddenly you weren't.
YonatanHOST
I think you will find it very humorous.
YonatanHOST
We have an employee of Thameslink, I think it works for TFL, Transport for London, who was wearing a badge of Palestine or something like that.
YonatanHOST
And there was a man who challenged him on that.
YonatanHOST
And they had a debate.
YonatanHOST
It's been caught on video.
YonatanHOST
And the man, the Thameslink guy, made up all sorts of very rather imaginative conspiracies about the nature of October 7th.
YonatanHOST
And I thought it would be really interesting for us to see it for dessert.
YonatanHOST
So Dan, maybe you could share it with us.
Christian WolmarHOST
the least of one's problems, Mark.
Christian WolmarHOST
It's when the bloody toilets are locked off and you're a heavy user of Thameslink.
Christian WolmarHOST
And I must say, Thameslink seem to be particularly bad on this, that they often have a couple of toilets locked out.
Christian WolmarHOST
So, yes, that should be all part of the passenger experience.
Christian WolmarHOST
I think this is a wider aspect of what Great British Railways should become, actually, which is that Great British Railways should aim to be passenger friendly and therefore kind of providing all these services as standard rather than kind of them being a bonus of having a toilet on a train.
Jon GoodallHOST
I know.
Jon GoodallHOST
Unlike the Thameslink ones that regardless of whether you sat in first class or not, because there is a first class in Thameslink and it's useless.
Jon GoodallHOST
It's like sitting on a piece of cardboard.
Jon GoodallHOST
It's horrible.
Jon GoodallHOST
I know.
