The Great Western Railway. Brainchild of legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Chocolate and Cream coaches and quintessential English Branch lines.GWR has always done things a little differently whether it be broad gauge tracks or diesel hydraulic locomotives. There's the Great Western Way and there's the wrong way surely someone must have said at some point….Today, GWR conforms more than it has in the past, but it still stands out. It's elegant green liveried trains still serve the great cities of Cardiff, Bristol and all points west, right through to the extremities of the rail network in Penzance. It's Managing Director is Mark Hopwood CBE, a veteran of the rail sector and a highly respected railway operator. Much has been achieved during his tenure but nonetheless, he still faces some significant challenges. I met up with Mark rather appropriately at the Didcot Railway Centre, the home of the Great Western Society, to talk about GWR - the highs, the lows and what may lie ahead.Membership: If you want to see even more from Green Signals, including exclusive content, become a member and support the channel further too.YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@GreenSignals/joinPatreon -https://www.patreon.com/GreenSignalsGreen Signals: Website -http://www.greensignals.orgMerchandise - http://greensignals.etsy.comNewsletter -http://www.greensignals.org/#mailing-listFollow: X (Twitter) -https://twitter.com/greensignallers LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/green-signals-productions-ltdInstagram -https://instagram.com/greensignallersImportant Notes:The views and opinions expressed by any guests or interviewees on this channel / podcast are strictly their own and should not be assumed to reflect those of the hosts, the management or the Directors of Green Signals.The Green Signals podcast should not be considered professional advice, and listeners should consult appropriate and qualified professionals for advice tailored to their specific needs.The Green Signals podcast and YouTube channel is provided ‘as is' and none of Green Signals Productions Limited, its Directors, hosts or management are liable for any damages in any form arising from the use of or reliance on any advertisement, product, service mentioned or any discussion about any matter.None of Green Signals Productions Limited, its Directors, its hosts or its management are responsible for any third party advertiser content, claims or representations.

In this candid and raw Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode, we reconnect with the unstoppable Vedangi Kulkarni — the youngest woman to have cycled around the world, who's recently returned from doing it again. Now based in Inverness, Scotland, Vedangi opens up about her second attempt at cycling around the globe — this time not just for the journey, but in pursuit of a Guinness World Record. From racing Lael Wilcox to navigating border delays, funding pressures, and the relentless physical and mental toll of riding across five continents, Vedangi doesn't hold back. This conversation is about pushing limits, embracing failures, and finding strength when things don't go to plan. Highlights from the episode include: Breaking a record in the Himalayas (Manali–Leh Highway) in 2023 Preparing to cycle the world again in 2024 — and finding sponsorship, gear, and coaching Struggles of travelling on an Indian passport and the challenge of visa logistics Being delayed at borders, detained, and ultimately forced to return to the UK mid-ride due to visa expiry Restarting in 2025, finishing the ride under the blazing Indian summer sun Dealing with the post-expedition blues and finding her footing again Vedangi's story is one of resilience, honesty, and fierce determination. Despite knowing she wouldn't get the world record, she kept going — driven by passion, grit, and the belief that stories worth telling are born from adversity. Now, she's looking ahead to her next expedition, ramping up her YouTube and Substack presence, and continuing to speak openly about the realities of life as a woman of colour in adventure sport.

http://attitudereconstruction.com/ let's talk about Purpose and Goals. http://attitudereconstruction.com/ According to "the Google" anxiety is due to difficult experiences growing up. I believe it can also be due to being born with a lot of fear as your basic constitution (as opposed to coming it with a lot of anger or sadness or a combination of these three elements). For this newsletter I'm zeroing in on two main manifestations of fear, regardless of its origin -- anxiety you feel in your body, and worry is what your mind does with that feeling. In our country today, there is a lot of anxiety and worry going on. Our political leaders seem to be taking extreme measures, oblivious to the consequences it has on the general population, but especially on those with underlying fear. So I'm offering some suggestions for those of you who find yourself under more distress than in previous times. However, before presenting this information, I'm offering you a few videos and interesting articles. This first video is longer than usual, 25 minutes, but well worth the time, especially if you're wanting to witness a tragedy turning into a heart-warming resolution of justice. Guinness World Record (GWR) for cutting a red pepper, and the fascinating website for GWR. Cops walking with over 55 year olds for exercise and friendship. The virtual experience of what it's like to have dementia. Did you know there were over 100 murals around Santa Barbara? Here's a map and thumbnail.
What began as a way to cope with grief became a world record-breaking journey that's taken Helen Ryvar across the globe — from sunrise runs in North Wales to volcanic trails in Fuerteventura and the ancient deserts of Petra. A single mum of three and a self-described non-athlete in her youth, Helen's transformation into a Guinness World Record holder for running consecutive half marathons is nothing short of awe-inspiring. In this deeply personal episode, Helen opens up about the heartbreak that sparked her first streak, how running became her therapy, and the mental and physical resilience required to complete 1,000 consecutive half marathons — often starting at 4am. With races lined up from the Chester Ultra to international marathons in Malta and Brighton. If you've ever questioned what you're capable of, or needed a reminder of the strength that comes from simply showing up — this is the episode for you. Tune in to hear Helen's story of grit, growth, and running with purpose. New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

Michael Zervos has been to every country in the world Hey now, I am your host, Ric Gazarian. This is a bonus episode with Michael Zervos. I interviewed Michael back in December of 2023, before he had started his quest. His quest? To travel to every country in the world in the quickest possible time. We have heard this before … someone who wants to break the GWR. And many in the community would ask what is the point? This is not a race. What will the traveler gain from spending just a day or two in each country? And once the record is broken, it will be broken again. First it was Cassie de Pecol, and then Taylor Demonbreun, who currently holds the GWR for quickest at 554 days to every country in the world. The current male GWR holder is Robson Jesus at 772 days. On a random note, I met Robson in Phuket, his second country on his quest. Former guest, Indy Nelson claimed 539 days to every country. Anderson Dias traveled 543 days to every country in the world, also claiming a record, both unverified by GWR. Michael just completed his journey in 499 days to every country in the world … overcoming potential challenges such as DPRK and Sudan. But Michael put his own spin on his journey. He wanted to create a library of the world's “what is the happiest moment of your life?” As he traveled to every country in the world, he would meet locals and pose this question to them, and create videos. On another random note, I organized a meetup in Bangkok when he visited, introducing him to two local Thai friends who were interviewed at the event. Remember to keep up to date with the Extraordinary Travel Festival by joining our Instagram and Facebook groups and signing up for the on our ETF will be sometime, somewhere in 2026 around October/November, destination unknown. Some other notes in the travel community. I joined the NM travel conference to Fergana Valley where I met 100 other travelers, including many from the ETF community. One of the highlights was a visit to a unique and amazing enclave. Hats off to the NM team which organized this great event. I just got my copy of the Impossible Journey. This is Thor Pedersen's mission to visit every country in the world without flying. Make sure you pick up your copy, and take a look at this . I also attended April Peregrino's last country party celebration in Bratislava. Congrats to April who was interviewed on one of the early . She did an amazing job organizing this multi-day event for 50 people. And one more piece of news, extreme traveler Krazy Koala just visited her last country. And she celebrated in a unique manner by writing a song in honor of her completion. Check out her song Solo 193.

When Nick Coffer's marriage fell apart, the breakup was a battlefield. Embroiled in high conflict, overwhelming stress, and crushing legal fees, he had to redefine his role as a father while struggling to maintain his cheeriness as a BBC broadcaster. But from the chaos, Nick forged a new path: re-training as a family mediator. Determined to rescue others from his mistakes, he now shatters stalemates between hostile exes, keeping conversations constructive and focussed on the only people who matter: the divorcing couple's children. In this chat with Olly, Nick shares the game-changing apps that transform toxic communication; reveals how he fell into the trap of becoming a ‘McDonald's Dad'; and explains why mediation can be useful even before you tell your kids you intend to split up… Nick's mediation services can be found at wayforwardmediation.co.uk The Family Mediators Association is at TheFMA.co.uk —----------------- Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for sleeper trains - by taking Olly and Alix for a ride on GWR's ‘Night Riviera' from London Paddington to Penzance, Cornwall. What are his top tips to ensure you get a good night's kip? Is the rise in overnight train travel because locomotives are so good - or aeroplanes are so insufferable? And how does one store excess luggage when arriving in a place with no car? Ollie has the answers - though they become increasingly less intelligible after a night in the on-board bar… The team travelled as the guests of GWR. Book tickets direct at gwr.com —----------------- Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from experiencing her first-ever dip in a geothermal pool - tackles a listener's concerns about getting jiggy under canvas. Can sex in tents ever be comfortable? Is it best to use fairy lights, or fumble in the dark? And what are the camping essentials you need to bring along if you intend to get off? Armed with a packet of Fresh Wipes, and aided by author Zachary Zane, Alix reveals all… —----------------- Finally, our record of the month belongs to Will Varley - it's his latest track, ‘Home Before The World Ends' featuring Bastille. _______ BUY US A BEER Your support keeps this show going!

Electrification and battery technology are never far from discussions about decarbonisation of the railway. There are a number of solutions, including discontinuous electrification and battery-hybrid technology. We visited Salisbury Traincare Depot, home to South Western Railway's Class 159 fleet. Richard speaks to Neil Drury, Engineering & Infrastructure Director for SWR about how the operator is thinking about the electrification challenge on its network. In this episode: (00:00) Intro (01:21) How is the work on the Isle of Wight's Island Line going? (02:35) Weather challenges at Honiton Tunnel and elsewhere (04:10) Vegetation encroachment onto the railway (05:34) Future for the West of England Line (08:21) More third rail? (11:38) Is the plan for West of England similar to GWR's Greenford Branch plans? (13:30) Is it feasible to retrofit current rolling stock? (17:07) How about retrofitting Electric Multiple Units instead of buying new trains? (18:38) SWR could be one of the first operations to be nationalised next year… (20:28) What customers feel and will see (22:12) Introduction of Arterio trains Membership: If you want to see even more from Green Signals, including exclusive content, become a member and support the channel further too.

Dr. Meera Velankar, a mother of two with a doctorate in life sciences, embarked on a transformative journey over a decade ago. Feeling unfit and discontent, she turned to cycling, becoming a seasoned endurance athlete since. Her achievements include completing numerous running and cycling events, earning the title of an Ironman 70.3 finisher, and conquering the Super Randonneur norm three times, with a podium finish at the Tour of Nilgiris. In 2022, Meera made history by setting a Guinness World Record for a self-supported cycling journey from Agra to Umlingla, covering a distance of 1,835 km in 19 days, 7 hours, and 18 minutes. This remarkable feat, accomplished with Utkarsh Verma, traversed five passes with an elevation of 19,000 meters, equivalent to climbing Mount Everest twice. During this podcast, Meera shares insights into her journey, emphasising the importance of setting goals and pushing boundaries. Drawing inspiration from fellow cyclists, she advocates for spending more time outdoors and pursuing dreams.

Dirk Anthony is one of the most famous, or for some, infamous, radio bosses there's ever been. He pretty much ran the show at GWR and then Gcap, after the merger with Capital. When you weald so much power for so long it's difficult for some to see beyond the 'big, scary boss' tag, and forget there's s real person with their own story, dealing with their own pressures. So, not having had too many dealings Dirk in the past, Foxy was a bit nervous about grilling "the Guvnor"... but it's probably fair to say Dirk was more nervous! We started right at the beginning, taking in his slightly fortuitous entry into the industry after initially taking on a trade. He lifts the lid on the GWR / Capital merger, and muses on a job he could / should have taken on. And he addresses the "bloody Aussies" feeling some people had, with great humility and understanding. Oh, he also tells us his real name - listen right to the end for that. And whatever you thought you knew about Dirk, prepare to find out the real story. Dirk is now a partner of the consultancy company Blank White Page (https://blankwhitepage.co.uk/) and has made the incredibly kind offer to help any Crunch & Roll listener who's struggling with life after radio to understand who their skills and experience can be invaluable in the outside world. Contact him at dirk.anthony@blankwhitepage.co.uk.

Guinness World Records said on Tuesday that it has suspended and was re-examining its “world's oldest dog” record. The publishing company had given the record to a Portuguese dog named Bobi, which died in October of last year. 吉尼斯世界纪录周二表示，已暂停并正在重新审查其“世界上最古老的狗”记录。出版公司将这张唱片交给了一只名叫波比的葡萄牙狗，这只狗于去年十月去世。 The move follows criticism from veterinarians who raised doubts about the dog's age. 此举是在兽医对这只狗的年龄提出质疑的批评之后做出的。Bobi was a kind of dog called a Rafeiro do Alentejo. He spent his life in a village in Portugal. Guinness World Records said the animal lived for 32 years and 165 days. It broke a record held since 1939 by an Australian cattle-dog that died at 29 years and five months. 博比是一种名叫拉菲罗·杜·阿连特茹（Rafeiro do Alentejo）的狗。他在葡萄牙的一个村庄度过了一生。吉尼斯世界纪录称，这只动物活了32年零165天。它打破了澳大利亚牧牛犬自 1939 年以来保持的纪录，该牧牛犬在 29 岁零 5 个月时死亡。 Bobi was declared the world's oldest dog in February. 今年二月，博比被宣布为世界上最古老的狗。Rafeiro do Alentejo are traditionally used to watch sheep. They have a normal life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. Rafeiro do Alentejo 传统上用于观看羊群。他们的正常预期寿命为 12 至 14 年。Guinness World Records (GWR) said the review into Bobi's record was ongoing. The company added that it would re-examine evidence, seek new evidence, and reach out to experts and those linked to the application. 吉尼斯世界纪录（GWR）表示，对博比记录的审查正在进行中。该公司补充说，它将重新审查证据，寻求新证据，并联系专家和与该申请相关的人员。 "While our review is ongoing, we have decided to temporarily pause applications on both the record titles for oldest dog living and (oldest dog) ever until all of our findings are in place and have been communicated," the spokesperson said. 该发言人表示：“虽然我们的审查仍在进行中，但我们已决定暂时停止申请最长寿的狗和（最长寿的狗）纪录，直到我们的所有调查结果到位并已传达为止。” Bobi's owner, Leonel Costa, said in a statement on Tuesday that after his dog's death, "an elite within the veterinary world...tried to give people the idea that Bobi's life story was not true." 博比的主人莱昂内尔·科斯塔周二在一份声明中表示，在他的狗死后，“兽医界的精英......试图让人们相信博比的生活故事不是真的。”Costa said some veterinarians were unhappy because he said Bobi's long life came from the dog eating “human food,” which he said was often suggested by those in the field. 科斯塔说，一些兽医对此感到不满，因为他说博比的长寿来自于狗吃“人类食物”，他说这也是业内人士经常提出的建议。 "Everything would be different if we had said he (Bobi) ate pet food,” Costa said, adding that all requirements requested by the GWR were met. 科斯塔说：“如果我们说他（鲍比）吃了宠物食品，一切都会不同。”他补充说，GWR 要求的所有要求都得到满足。 Costa said GWR has not reached out to him. 科斯塔表示，GWR 尚未联系他。 No action has yet been taken about any record holders, the publisher said. It added that any action would be decided by the review's outcome. 该出版商表示，尚未对任何记录保持者采取任何行动。它补充说，任何行动都将根据审查结果决定。Before his death, Bobi still loved walks but had become calmer, Costa told Reuters. His hair, or fur, was thinning, his eyesight had worsened, and he needed to rest more than in earlier years. 科斯塔告诉路透社，博比去世前仍然喜欢散步，但变得更加平静。他的头发越来越稀疏，视力也越来越差，而且比早年需要更多的休息。

Episode 4 of this season of The WON Podcast welcomes Guinness World Record holder Alex Goulding to discuss his journey within fitness and well-being, and how this has led to him setting world records in various exercises. Like many teenagers, Alex's journey simply started by joining the gym at 16 - and from here, as he progressed in life, continue to test his body's strength and fitness to own an incredible total of 4 GWR, whilst holding 10 certificates. Whilst he has constantly pushed himself to improve, Alex has also used his own experience of success and tough times to give back and help others, through becoming a personal trainer and setting up fitness classes for every ability out there and even local schools (including his old upper school). This aspect of his venture is to help people change their approach to, whilst also improving, their mental health - through the power of exercise. Listen out for all of this and much more on this week's episode of The WON Podcast with Alex Goulding. Want to find out more about Alex? Then check out the below.

Britain's first modern high speed line may have been the Selby Diversion. Its first 300km/h line may have been High Speed 1. But the first inter-city railway that embodied the design elements we see of high speed lines today was - arguably - the Great Western Railway. 130 years after its opening it also became Britain's first 200km/h railway. It may have been over-engineered by Brunel, but this was very much in the favour of the engineers of the 1970s when they upgraded much of the GWR for 125mph running... This week's #RailNatter looks at what these upgrades involved - and we'll think on what we can learn from these works today. Enjoyed this?

Merch o Dremadog ydi Catrin, bellach yn byw yn y de. Ganwyd Catrin gyda Spina Bifida a hydrocephalus, ac mae hi'n sôn am y cyflyrau yma a sut maen nhw wedi effeithio arni. Mae hi bellach yn Coach - Y Coach Cymraeg, ac yn siarad gyda chleientiaid ar draws y byd. Mae hi'n sôn nad oes enw Cymraeg am Coach - sydd yn esbonio yn union beth ydi'r gwaith. O edrych yn ôl dywed Catrin y dylai fod wedi gwneud hyn 10 mlynedd yn ôl. Mae diddordeb ganddi mewn Seicoleg ers ei dyddiau yn Ysgol Eifionydd. Ei bwriad gwreiddiol oedd astudio Seicoleg – sut mae pobl yn meddwl, ond chafodd hi ddim y graddau ar y pryd i'w astudio ymhellach. Fe gychwynnodd gwmni meddalwedd efo Dan, ei Gwr ac roedd y diwydiant yn hollol ddieithr iddi. Mae hi'n hoff o ddysgu, a bellach mae'r ddau faes yn cyd-fynd. Barry Griffiths a fu'n wreslar enwog ydi ei brawd - Mae Barry ar hyn o bryd yn ymddangos yn y sioe Cirque du Soleil yn Vegas, ac yn byw yno gyda'i deulu ers 10 mlynedd. Fe dreuliodd Catrin amser yng Nghanada, ac fe newidiodd hyn ei bywyd. Fe sylweddolodd ei bod yn medru gwneud pethau ar ei phen ei hun. Mae hi bellach yn hapus yn ei chroen, ac yn sôn bod hi wedi cymryd amser i gyrraedd y man yma.
