Merseyrail have provided a good service but the railways should be re-nationalized according to Mick Whitley, Labour MP for Birkenhead. He tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing that Great British Railways doesn't go far enough. And the confusing traffic light system for international travel is less important now because so few people are travelling says Joe Twyman, founder of DeltaPoll, but that may change as the summer holidays approach.

On this episode I talk to Steven Taylor. We connected on LinkedIn and he asked if he could come on to the podcast to tell his story. When he was younger Steven had dreams of working in Social Care or as a Primary School teacher but whilst in further education realised those weren't careers he actually wanted to pursue. He found his way into HR and now works for Merseyrail as an Employee Experience Advisor. Not only do we discuss this unique role but how Steven has ultimately found a role that he is passionate about but also fulfils those ambitions to help people and give something back to society.I was so fascinated learning about Steven's job and know that anyone in HR can take away some insights into Health, Wellbeing and Diversity that you could implement into your organisation. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. Support the show

One of Sefton's greatest assets is its 22 miles of natural coast. A designated Special Area of Conservation, it contains rare species of animals and plants along its sand dunes and woodlands. Ashleigh Panther investigates the natural and man-made threats to this wildlife haven, as well as the efforts being made to preserve it. She talks to Dave Mercer, Senior Reserve Manager at Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve, who describes the management of the sand dune system, as well as flora and fauna, including the Natterjack toad. She also hears from Cath Johnston, Environment and Energy Manager at Merseyrail, about their strategies to support the local environment — and in particular about the re-development of Ainsdale Station, which will be the first 'eco station' on Merseyside. Ashleigh finally attends the 2015 Sefton Eco Champion Awards, which took place at the Ramada Hotel in Southport in July. These awards, organised by Southport Eco Centre, recognise young people from across the borough who go the extra mile to support their local environment and communities. The work being devised and executed by all of the entrants is innovative, inspiring and effective. Part of the Coastlands project: six documentaries about the Sefton coast. Created by Ashleigh Panther. Supported by Arts Council England and The Hemby Trust.
