European leaders are set to gather this week for an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine. This comes as concerns are growing that the US is moving ahead with Russia on peace talks that will lock out the continent. UK PM Sir Keir Starmer says it is a "once-in-a-generation moment for our national security." UK Correspondent Gavin Gray joins the show to discuss the summit, as well as the adventurous cat that had to be collected from London Waterloo station after tripping 30km away. LISTEN ABOVE.

The cutting of a grant paid to rural councils could create a £10 million hole in Devon's budget. James McInnes, Devon County Council's Conservative leader, called the scrapping of the rural services delivery grant “another assault on rural communities”, and said the repurposing of the cash towards areas of deprivation might not benefit Devon in the same way. Fears about inheritance tax changes that could impact some Devon farmers has occupied local councils and Westminster, with a host of Devon politicians urging the government to re-think. Reaction comes in relation to the nationalisation of South Western Railway, whose services run from Devon to London Waterloo, while pressure builds on Plymouth Council to finish works in Central Park. And one of the most iconic bands of the eighties – Duran Duran – will be playing one of their only two gigs in 2025 right here in Devon. Devoncast is available for LDRS partners to use as they wish, in full or in part.

Today I have been covering two big railway stories: the roll-out of a new £1bn fleet of trains, known as Arterio, at London Waterloo; and, the remarkable news that the taxpayer is currently subsidising the railways to the tune of £12.5bn a year. That is a difficult figure to conceive, so I have calculated a less-cumbersome figure: £400 of public money per second. To his credit, Stuart Meek – interim managing director of South Western Railway – explains why the railways deserve support. He also believes his new suburban trains are as good as any in Europe, and will delight tourists heading for attractions such as Hampton Court. Hosted on Acast.

I'm at London Waterloo, home of Network Rail. But I am not using the public WiFi – the system has been taken down since the landing page was replaced by a strange message about terrorist acts in Europe. It appears this was not a hack, but the act of someone working for the company that provides the landing page. Hopefully the system will be up and running by the weekend. Meanwhile, if you are using on-train WiFi, you may struggle to connect with the podcast ... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hosted by Craig Mclean it was time to upgrade the pod, so we headed to Brewdog Brewery in London Waterloo and recorded this episode in their Podcast Project, a professional studio for podcasters with Docs Georgie and Sydney on their 2nd anniversary of working with us at Chiro London. You'll find Georgie in our Fulham office and Sydney in Tooting. We cover loads that will be of interest to Chiropractors, patients and new graduate chiros. It's especially useful for those about to embark on their own journey as chiros. You hear about their reasons for become chiropractors, insight into covid life as a chiro student during a pandemic, things they learned in their first two years as a chiropractor with us at chiro london, some successes and some mistakes they made along the way. Hope you like the new sound from the pro set up at Brewdog. Sound quality was mega and I had loads of buttons to press that I had no idea exactly what they did. Obviously a beer and burger was needed to help us recover from this episode. Enjoy....Instagram @chirolondonpod

I'm at London Waterloo – the busiest railway station in the UK, and also the home for Network Rail and the Great British Railways Transition Team. The latter is the body that is supposed to be acting as a "guiding mind" for the nation's rail services. Reports this morning say that the legislation necessary to establish GBR won't happen before the next election. Add to that the latest strike called by the RMT, and there are few reasons to be cheerful about the near future of rail – and train travellers.This podcast is free, much like my weekly newsletter - subscribe here to get it in your inbox every Friday.

2022.11.10 – 0679 – Concatenation ConcernsCharacter creep can cause particular problems when combined with concatenation. This is where a voice-over has to read a short list of incomplete sentences, and then a long list of places, numbers, or other ‘options'. You will have heard examples on transport services, telephone booking systems and sat navs: the original sentences are completed by the computer selecting the appropriate word or phrase from the second list (“The train now standing on platform 2 is the 15.36 service to London Waterloo…”). It takes a special skill, and a lot of patience to not only keep in ‘character' while recording the different elements for such a service, but also to have the correct (and repetitive) intonation for every word or phrase – even though you are recording them in isolation from the rest of the sentence which would normally provide the sense!

Most of cricket's history for nearly three hundred years can be found behind a small shopfront in a quiet suburban street in Surrey, forty minutes on the commuter train service from London Waterloo. It is easy to miss on a first visit. The most obvious landmark is the large plastic poodle promoting the dog grooming parlour next door. But a closer inspection shows a handsome carved wooden cricket frieze at the base. Peter Oborne and Richard Heller went there to meet England's premier cricket bookseller, John McKenzie, the guest in their latest cricket-themed podcast.Read the full description here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-99-at-the-wonder-house-of-cricket-books/

ABIGAIL TRIPP has lived in London Waterloo for almost 25 years. She is an avid swimmer, cyclist and traveller and loves searching out the wild swimming and lido spots in and around London. “Being in touch with the water is so important to me.” Abigail is also a huge cycling fan and cycles all around London. Her idea of finding peace and quiet is going on early morning urban solos, a concept she first discovered while on a silent walking retreat on the west coast of Scotland near Inverie. Closer to London, one of Abigail's favourite camping and swimming destinations is to Brightlingsea Lido and to Mersea Island. Abigail is a founding member of Flux Soup, a collective musical and artistic group who initiate creative events around theatre, music and song. At last year's Waterloo Festival, they collaborated with writer Sarah Gray in a production of Sarah's written work, entitled Heartwood. On our walk from Archbishop's Park in London SE1 she took me to the Thames and along the path between Lambeth Bridge and Westminster Bridge passing the Covid Memorial Wall of red and pink hearts. Where our discussion turns to cycling and Abigail's involvement in Wednesday morning cycle rides for women, as well as the plans she has for community building at St John's Waterloo through art, and collective creativity.

Dogs and humans have gone paw in hand for thousands of years. Historic and genetic evidence shows we've shaped each other's existence over millennia. But dogs were only first trained as guides for blind people in the UK 90 years ago. What's the biology behind this extraordinary partnership? Hannah heads to Guide Dogs UK's training school in Royal Leamington Spa. She meets up with expert Graham Kensett to find out what it takes to make a guide dog from nose to tail, starting from before birth and following the life course through to retirement. Hannah also meets the delightful Wendy and Wilmott, a German shepherd and a retriever cross. Despite both still growing into their ears, they show her their already extraordinary skill set, from tackling obstacle courses to safely crossing roads. Cool, calm, patient, unflappable: Guide dogs are the astronauts of the canine world. But, as trainer Jenna explains, it's all in the partnership with the owner, who needs to do plenty of work in terms of training and learning routes to journey in harmony with their furry guide. Richard Lane has owned guide dogs for over 25 years, and confirms this first hand. He reveals just how he gets to the toothpaste aisle, and tells Adam how at its peak a partnership can navigate London Waterloo station better than some sighted people, even at rush hour. Richard also explains how deeply felt the bond that forms between owner and dog is, and describes the hardest part of guide dog ownership: Letting go at the end.

How do guide dogs know where they're going? It's not like their handler whispers in their ear and asks to go to the pharmacy, maybe the toothpaste aisle. So how does it work? asks Charlotte, aged 42.
