The federal government recently selected the route as corridor study program.  What does that mean, and what […] The post Southern Rail Route Makes the Grade for Corridor Study first appeared on Voices of Montana.

But what's the economic impact of football on the city? Glenn Murray and Paul Hayward are joined by Bella Sankey, Leader of Brighton & Hove City Council to find out. They'll also be discussing a new home for the women's team, fan zones, keeping fit, and the social benefits of sport in the community.

Let me take a moment to inform you that I now, finally, have a Patreon acct. This is something I've been meaning to do for a while now. Over the past 2 years I've dedicated a lot of time putting this podcast together. Your support would allow me to continue to create content and grow the channel. I'm asking for $1.00 a month for a subscription. Of course, you are welcome to give more if you are so generously inclined. Most importantly, a percentage of your contribution will be donated to the Norm Nathan Scholarship Fund at the Berklee College of Music! You will find the link in the description box. In the words of Bartles & Jaymes... "We thank you for your support." As we begin the month of Norm’s birth we have what is truly a near perfect example of Norm’s excellence. His personality, the callers, the show and what it all meant to the listeners. When did this achievement in radio occur? December 4th & 5th, 1993. Because the reports with Bruce ‘Don’t Call Me Brian’ Connolly are super-entertaining the title of this episode will be: Trafficking in Laughter! Sid Whitaker was producing. We begin with a story, in progress, about Uncle Louie and Guinness Stout from a caller that sounds familiar, but I cannot place a name to the voice. Norm then adds his own story about someone named Ethel. Norm teases a guest who writes obituaries for a paper in the South and we jump to Accuweather with Paul Pastelok introduced by Newsman, Ed Donahue. And now the fun begins, as Norm and Bruce Connolly begin their night of frivolity with the traffic reports. We talk with 90-year-old Porter Harvey who owns a newspaper, The Advertiser-Gleam, in Guntersville, AL. It’s a folksy kind of paper. Strictly local news. He told stories about writing obits and adding a little more than the usual family, friends and arrangements stuff. After that we get another report with Bruce sponsored by the Norm Nathan Orchestra and the Bruce Connolly Quintet Now it’s time for lots of callers: I believe the caller’s name was Dorothy – 1st time she’s ever called a station Glen in Portsmouth, NH Helene from Belmont – singing and thinking of lyrics to songs whilst driving the car is the subject. Norm mentions some of his favs and they discuss many tunes and recite lines from them to each other. Charlie from Manassas,VA - he Norm singing a theme from a program that hadn’t been on the air for 50 years. Charlie has high praise for the show! He's trying to start a fan club in Manassas. Bruce with traffic and we switch to side B where Bruce and Norm continue with the silly. Norm moves to the back rows of the Teen Canteen with two pretty girls that just came in and asks Bruce to project so they can hear him. A comment about Joe Stapleton causes Norm to burst out laughing. Dave from Uxbridge but really from Whitinsville. More high praise. He’s a bluegrass musician with the band Southern Rail. He has been loving the traffic reports and makes an awful third harbor tunnel joke that I thoroughly enjoyed. This led Norm to reveal that he subbed for Joe Green in the traffic copter?! Dave also objects to the stupid infomercials that had booted Norm off the air on Sunday nights. Jim on a car phone –Gives his own foggy and rainy traffic report. Glenn in Brighton – asking about the instrument called the Theremin. Jim calling in about Dave and his band, Southern Rail. He’s a fan and says Dave’s a wicked good player. He was actually a former student! Informs us that when Dave was only 19 years old he scored a great achievement. The most-brief call with Robert from Everett Then it’s on to Pat! – a nutty caller with nutty questions that

Ford South Africa remains “actively engaged” with government and its rail arm Transnet to enable vehicle and component transport to and from the Gqeberha port, says Ford Motor Company Africa president Neale Hill. “Frustratingly so we seem to make progress, and then it all seems to retreat. “The development of the southern rail corridor has not kept pace with the commitments and promises we have made, and kept, in terms of investment and expansion.” Ford started production of the new Ranger bakkie at its Silverton plant this week, following a R16-billion investment, without any view of when the southern rail corridor would be able to handle traffic from the Pretoria facility. The plant has increased its capacity to 200 000 units a year, with production expected to reach 150 000 units next year, with around 70% of this volume to be exported. Ford also has an engine plant in Gqeberha, with those engines destined for the export market, as well as the Silverton plant. Ford would also like to ferry imported components and vehicles via the southern rail corridor. Hill says almost 100% of Ford South Africa's vehicles are currently moved by truck. “Looking at our export numbers, we should have roughly 79 trucks a day [by 2025] on the road transporting cars to Durban if we don't fix that corridor.” Hill says it is of utmost importance to be able to use rail transport in order for Ford's Pretoria plant to remain globally competitive in terms of logistics costs. He believes that the volumes are sufficient to encourage Transnet to make the investment necessary in infrastructure and rolling stock, especially when considering that other vehicle manufacturers in Gauteng, such as BMW and Nissan, could also make use of a southern rail corridor. Volkswagen and Isuzu, which are respectively based in and near Gqeberha, could also use the line to move cargo north. Ford wants the southern rail line to run from Gauteng straight into the Gqeberha port, which would mean a limited number of vehicle handlings. Should Ford export via Durban, the vehicles will be off-loaded at Cato Ridge and trucked to the port, which creates a situation where the vehicles are handled multiple times. This generates the opportunity for possible damage to the vehicles. “Also, as a country we cannot rely solely on one port – it is not strategically sound,” says Hill. “Relying on Durban only makes us very vulnerable as a country.” He notes that the southern line will need to double in capacity to handle the vehicle volumes, while there is also a shortage of wagons to ferry vehicles. “Transnet says it doesn't have the capital to do that, but how do we then move the economy forward? “It could be a private-public partnership,” he adds. “The point is that we desperately need infrastructure expansion if we want this country to move forward.” Hill says Ford has investigated moving its export units through the Maputo harbour in neighbouring Mozambique. However, the problem is that this facility is a dollar-based port, which could leave the car maker vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations.

Join us for this week's episode of Roundhouse Crosstalk, a podcast hosted by the California State Railroad Museum. Today we'll be hearing from Professor Scott Huffard about the spread of Yellow Fever, traditionally common in port towns, to inland towns after the construction of the railroad. How did people react to these outbreaks and did they understand its causes? What does can disease teach us about a society's politics, infrastructure, and scientific knowledge?

The restaurant is inspired by a shared passion for southern comfort food. Join us as Scott and Katie Stephens talk us through the journey to becoming a central Phoenix staple.

Is Customer Experience Drowning In A Sea Of Indifference? On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Gerry Brown, The Customer Lifeguard –  Is Customer Experience Drowning In A Sea Of Indifference? – Keeping it Afloat in an Ocean of Lip Service. Head-line grabbing, customer service nightmares, featuring the likes of BA, United Airlines, Southern Rail, various banks and utility companies continue unabated. These stories often come complete with lame, poorly timed, insincere executive statements and hard to believe PR excuses. This suggests that, at best, many companies are indifferent to, or at worst, simply don’t care about, their customers. Getting customer experience right and keeping customers happy, is not that easy, but neither is it a task of Herculean proportions, when done intelligently, authentically and inclusively. To successfully engage employees, provide customers with an outstanding experience and create a high performance culture, businesses need to be fully aligned, with strong internal & external communication to be able to overcome the challenges that come with daily business life. These are key elements in developing Organizational Engagement that is more than just lip service or a hastily contrived tactical shotgun marriage between departments. Companies that fail to do this typically have negative customer outcomes, increased attrition, endless internal finger pointing, severe reputational damage and disappointing financial results. Gerry Brown introduced us to the Four Principles of Customer Experience earlier this year. He will dig deeper into these principles to address the major shortcomings that have led to many of these customer incidents landing, expanding and compounding already bad customer experiences. Gerry Brown aka The Customer Lifeguard, is on a mission to save the world from bad customer service. He helps businesses who are leaking revenue to save customers at risk of defecting and breathes life into their customer service operations and customer experience strategy. On this edition of Business Connections Live, Gerry will explain: What customers want more than anything else when things go wrong Why the biggest challenge to effective communication is the fear of litigation What senior level commitment really means to customer experience success The value of empowering employees to make it personal and let them be themselves How strong Organizational Engagement is more than the sum of the parts Why a close knit corporate community operating with agility, flexibility & adaptability can trump dumb rules and arcane policies Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve: Establishing an open and inclusive communications network to provide real time updates on any and all issues affecting customers and colleagues The creation of a corporate culture that pays more than lip service to customer centricity and builds long term, profitable customer relationships and strong employee performance How to ditch the scripts, act naturally and put the responsibility for great customer experience back in the hands of your best people An environment where employees are continuously provided the right information at the right time and the encouragement to take affirmative action and not be constricted by policies and procedures How a top down – bottom up customer experience philosophy can gain acceptance, enhance commitment, and increase the contribution, of all employees For more great information visit our Guests website or follow them on Social Media Website:www.customerlifeguard.com Twitter: @savingcustomers  @gerrybuk  LinkedIn: Gerry Brown   *******You Can Contact Business Connections Live****** The UK’s Leading Online Business Channel: Subscribe Here! http://businessconnectionslive.com/BC...

Bringing Britain's railways back into public ownership is a popular idea with passengers - but would it really make any improvements to service?Renationalisation of the railways is official Labour party policy. Polls suggest a majority of voters favour it too - and that was the case before the recent problems with Southern Rail. With the help of the Conservative former transport minister Michael Portillo, David Aaronovitch explores the history of British railway ownership, asks whether it's possible to make the privatised system work and finds out how a future government might go about bringing the railways back into public ownership.Contributors:Louise Ellman, Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside and Chair, Transport Select CommitteeLaurie Macfarlane, Economist, New Economics FoundationMichael Portillo, former Conservative Minister of State for Transport Michael Schabas, railways consultantChristian Wolmar, railways historian and journalistProducer: Phil Kemp Research: Sam Bright.

¿Son la ética y la moral dos conceptos ontológicos intercambiables o hay ya entre ellos una diferencia que la sociedad ha empezado a distinguir? ¿Es la moral algo inmutable y la ética un neoproducto de nuestra conciencia global? ¿Importa o no diferenciarlas? Invitamos a la filósofa de King's College, Paola Romero -especialista en Kant- a que nos dilucidara un poco el tema y como excusa para hacer un programa con ella. Hablamos del imperativo cat*egórico, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein y, por supuesto, Monty Python. Sapere aude fue la consigna final de un programa grabado a micrófono abierto y acompañado no por los trenes de la marcha hegeliana del progreso si no los de Southern Rail que esa noche no estaban en huelga. Con Enrique Zattara y Juan Toledo

It’s amazing isn’t it? We’re a service economy with a heavy reliance on financial services but when it comes to customer services and financial services, we’re useless. Our email inbox is permanently full of complaints about companies that refuse to help their customers – as is our old-fashioned post bag. For the ninth year running the Wooden Spoon awards are upon us, where we highlight the most complained about companies and organisations of the year and ask readers, listeners and viewers to vote for the absolute worst. Last year the BT chief executive collected the award. This year, the execrable Southern Rail makes the shortlist as it enters the festive period without a timetable and none of the bosses in jail. Who gets your vote? Join Rachel Rickard Straus (British Gas), Lee Boyce (Banks – all of them) and Georgie Frost (Southern Rail) for a fabulously entertaining look at some of things we hate with a passion. Also on the show… - We look at how mortgage lending works. Did you know they have lending quotas and when the cash runs low, the rates go up and vice versa. Nowt, necessarily, to do with any outside economic pressures. Hopefully, the withdrawal this week of the cheapest ever deal is not the start of a trend. - Stupid house price surveys and their contradictory view of the state of the market - Spread betting is suddenly in the spotlight as people wake up to the fact that it’s gambling, not investing. - And finally, the game’s over, according to the author of a new book about financial Armageddon. We’re heading for the biggest financial crash in history and the chances of recovery from this one are smaller than the interest you can get on savings account.
