Located just 10 miles west of Horseshoe Curve the “Station Inn” is a unique bed-and-breakfast alongside the old Pennsylvania Railroad mainline. Built in 1866 only a dozen years after the completion of the “Curve,” it became a sanctuary for weary travelers headed east or west and a summer retreat for many folks that lived in the Pittsburgh area. Run by Alex Lang and his wife Leah, it's become their passion of carrying on the tradition of Tom Davis who originally turned the inn into a rail fanning hot-spot in 1993. Tom was a dear family friend of the Langs and when he passed away, it seemed only natural for them to take over and continue on the tradition that had been started so many years earlier. Alex has been on the podcast before, and this episode is just as entertaining and informative as ever. Enjoy!!

Latvijā top pirmais piekrastes zvejas kuģis, kuru darbinātu elektrība un ūdeņradis. Līdz šim jūras transportā zaļā enerģija nav plaši izmantota, bet, ņemot vērā piesārņojumu un emisijas, ko pasaulē rada kuģu kustība, inovācijas ir nepieciešamas. Par to, kā kursētu šāds kuģis un vai nākotnē varam cerēt, ka arī pasažieru un kravas kuģi kļūs videi un klimatam draudzīgāki, saruna raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā. Stāsta Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes vadošo pētnieku Andrejs Zvaigzne un Vidzemes Augstskolas Sociotehnisku sistēmu inženierijas institūta direktors, vadošais pētnieks Oskars Java. Slavenākie kuģi Latvijas vēsturē Galvenais jeb flagmaņkuģis „Virsaitis”, dmīnu meklētāji „Imanta” un „Viesturs” un zemūdenes „Ronis” un „Spīdola”.  Domāju,  šos  vārdus  ir  dzirdējuši daudzi, ja runājam par starpkaru Latvijas Republikas Jūras kara floti.  Skaitā neliela, bet tam laikam moderna, kaujās šie peldlīdzekļi nepiedalījās, bet  liela nozīme tiem bija  krasta aizsardzībā un mūsu jūrnieku apmācības procesā. Mūsu kara flotes oficiālais dibināšanas datums ir 1919. gada 10. augusts, kad pie Latvijas Bruņoto spēku Virspavēlnieka ģenerāļa Dāvja Sīmansona štāba tika nodibināta Jūras nodaļa, kurā iekļāva jūrnieku rotu un Mīnu izzvejošanas partiju, bet reāli par kaut cik nopietnu jaunizveidotās valsts floti var runāt tikai pēc Neatkarības kara beigām, tā atzīst Latvijas Kara muzeja direktora vietnieks, vēstures zinātņu doktors Juris Ciganovs. Pēc Pirmā pasaules kara izveidotā organizācija – Tautu savienība, kas rūpējās par jaunizveidoto valstu drošību,  formēja arī šo valstu flotes un tika noteikts, ka Latvijas Republikai vajadzētu četras zemūdenes un astoņus karakuģus, bet kā teic Juris Ciganovs, šie plāni palika tikai uz papīra, jo jāņem vērā, ka kara gados novārdzinātā jaunizveidotā Latvijas valsts nevarēja atļauties uzbūvēt tik lielu floti. 1940.gadā PSRS īstenoja Latvijas okupāciju un, protams, līdz ar mūsu valsts  pastāvēšanas beigām, beidzās arī mūsu flotes darbība. Sarkanā armija visus minētos peldlīdzekļus pārņēma savā rīcībā, zemūdenes tika nogremdētas  1941. gadā,  tajā pašā gadā traleris „Imanta” uzbrauca uz mīnas  un nogrima, kuģis „Viesturs” nonāca padomju flotes rindās un flagmaņkuģis „Virsaitis” arī 1941. gada decembrī, veicot  Sarkanās armijas  evakuāciju, uzskrēja uz mīnas un nogrima. -- Kā ik trešdienu ielūkojamies mūsu raidījuma viesu grāmatu plauktos un smeļamies iedvesmu aizraujošai lasāmvielai par zinātni un ne tikai. Šodien ar kādu sev nozīmīgu grāmatu iepazīstina ģeologs Ģirts Stinkulis.

The British government has recognised the urgent need to clamp down on cargo thefts from trucks. A new report to the Department of Transport has confirmed the importance of providing properly safe truck stop for drivers of the nation's 437,000 heavy goods vehicles, who move 89% of all national freight by road. A new Freight Crime Bill, which aims to introduce a separate crime classification code for freight crime as well as much needed funding for the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Services' (NaVCIS) Freight division, is now working its way through Parliament. 

Jerry spoke to Sinn Féin councillor Tom Barry from Listowel about this morning’s route 272 from Ballybunion to Tralee. Bus Éireann said in response, it operates the 272 service (Listowel-Tralee) as part of its Public Service Obligation (PSO) under direct award contract to the National Transport Authority (NTA). The NTA determines the timetables, fares and routes for PSO services.Bus Éireann wishes to apologise to passengers who were unable to be accommodated on this morning’s Route 272 service to Tralee, due to the large number who presented for travel. However, we will allocate additional resources to Route 272, and will have a second bus in place on this service, each morning, Monday to Friday.

Transport regulators around the world are forcing the automotive industry to fix faults in their cars, even if they are discovered years after the model rolled off the assembly line. It seems the drive to use more complex technology in vehicles is undermining reliability. We find out how tighter global scrutiny by road safety watchdogs is making manufacturers recall cars to repair them, even if the process is expensive for the industry. Produced and presented by Russell Padmore(Image: In May 2024 Tesla announced that the recall of over 125,000 of their vehicles in the US due to a possible seat belt warning system malfunction that can increase the risk of injury in a collision.

N-Scale is alive and well living in North Carolina, not far from the Hickory Motor Speedway. Scott Teague's previous layout graced the pages of some of the finest model railroad publications out there, but that wasn't good enough for Scott and not long after that layout was dismantled and a new one started. Some people just have the knack for getting things done and Scott is certainly one of those folks. The new railroad is well underway and after just two short years of construction, trains are running, and scenery is all but finished with nothing left to do now but add a few details to what is already a beautiful design. This is a great discussion with some of the best N-Scalers in the country and you won't be disappointed.

There is a major gear change in Auckland around transport. Local council boards will have new powers and will make decisions on local and so called collector roads; the ones that feed into bigger arterial routes. The 21 boards will be able to set speed limits, road closures for events, parking and creating cycleways. Director of the Greater Auckland transport advocacy website, Matt Lowrie spoke to Lisa Owen.

Auckland's transport agency will be stripped of most of its authority with the government today announcing a major shakeup to how the city's transport network is managed. Under the new legislation, expected to pass into law next year, Auckland Council and local boards will take on almost all responsibility for the city's roads. AT will focus on public transport while Auckland's mayor, Wayne Brown, and the 20 councillors will make decisions about major roads and the city centre. The city's 21 local boards, meanwhile, will oversee speed limits, parking, event closures and cycleways on smaller roads. Jessica Hopkins reports.

In this episode, our guest is Daniel Bleakley, co-founder of New Energy Transport, who shares how his team is building a vertically integrated, zero-emission road-freight company that can compete at diesel price parity by pairing electric trucks with on-site generation and smart participation in Australia's wholesale electricity market. He explains why heavy line-haul routes are the best first movers (diesel can be ~40% of operating cost), outlines initial operations between Sydney and the Illawarra before extending down the Hume to Melbourne, and describes early trials with customers starting in September. Daniel also highlights the system-level upside—using large truck batteries (≈600 kWh each) for vehicle-to-grid flexibility—and updates us on funding (a first raise just under A$1M in Nov, with grants and a follow-on round underway).

Public hearings are underway on a proposal to close a popular paper road on the Wairarapa coastline due to vandalism and destruction. The paper road, which runs through both Crown and privately owned Maori land, provides access to a remote section of the Cape Palliser coast used by outdoor enthusiasts such as surfers, campers, and hunters. But the proposed bylaw, which would restrict access for up to three years to allow the whenua to heal, has provoked strong feelings from both those sides. Mary Argue reports.

Clare County Council is being urged to promote public transport routes here in order to harness the potential of a new free travel initiative. The Department of Transport has announced that free travel on all TFI-operated services has been extended to all children between the ages of five and eight. Free travel on public transport was previously available to children up to the age of five, and the announcement means almost 236,000 additional children can now avail of the services at no cost. Ciaran Tiernan of community group Better Ennis insists the initiative will only be effective if people are aware of their local public transport routes.

Imogen chats with the new President and CEO of BC Hydro, Charlotte Mitha, for an insightful conversation about the future of clean energy in British Columbia and beyond. BC Hydro delivers electricity to over five million customers across the province, an impressive 98% of it from clean energy sources, primarily thanks to their 82 hydroelectric dams. Their power grid also connects all the way down to California through the western interconnection, allowing them to trade hydro power for solar energy across borders. Charlotte brings a unique and thoughtful perspective to the role, shaped by her background as a trained engineer and years of experience within BC Hydro. In this conversation, Imogen explores Charlotte's vision for the future, the goals ahead, and the pressing challenges of meeting rapidly growing electricity demand. With major infrastructure projects underway, systems to upgrade, and the need to engage and educate consumers, it's a crucial moment for energy leadership in British Columbia.

It's against the law, and yet, if you've cycled, driven or just observed London's cyclists, you'll know that many of them don't stop when there's a red light. Confession time: I'm one of them. Not all the time, but some of the time, and weirdly not when I'm in Munich — the other city I live in — but only in London.The question of why this happens — not just my red light running, but the act in general — is the subject of this episode. Because I think this seemingly simple act can reveal so much about our compliance with rules, our perception of risk, and the way environments shape behaviour.To unpack these insights, I'm joined by Ella Jenkins, Associate Director at Thinks Insight, and Pete Dyson, a behavioural science researcher at the University of Bath and co-author of Transport for Humans.  They've been part of a research team on a study commissioned by Lime, the electric bike and scooter company, which explores why cyclists in London behave the way they do.What we discover isn't about recklessness—it's about confidence, social signalling, poor infrastructure, and the surprising psychology of compliance. In our conversation, we examine the drivers of red-light running, the effectiveness of different interventions, and what this means for broader behaviour change.Whether you're a policymaker, a cyclist, or simply someone curious about how our minds and cities interact, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most visible — and misunderstood — forms of everyday noncompliance.Guest BiographiesElla Jenkins is an Associate Director at Thinks Insight, a strategy and research consultancy that helps clients understand human behaviour and deliver change. She led the research project commissioned by Lime to understand why cyclists in London run red lights. With a background in behavioural science and a passion for applying insights in real-world contexts, Ella brings both analytical rigour and empathy to her work.Pete Dyson is a behavioural science researcher at the University of Bath, where he focuses on transport systems and human behaviour. He is the co-author with Rory Sutherland of the influential book Transport for Humans: Are we nearly there yet? and previously served as the Principal Behavioural Scientist at the UK Department for Transport. He's also the current Cycling Mayor for the UK City of Bath.Pete blends practical policymaking experience with a deep understanding of the behavioural levers that shape how we move through the world.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary[00:00:00] Introduction and personal confession about red-light running[00:01:15] Overview of the Lime-commissioned research [00:03:20] Introducing Ella Jenkins and Pete Dyson[00:05:45] The origins and goals of the study[00:09:05] Red-light running as a defensive rather than reckless behaviour[00:12:08] Confidence and frequency of cycling linked to rule-breaking[00:13:14] Perceptions versus reality of who breaks the rules[00:16:32] The role of infrastructure and signal phasing[00:18:54] Social norms and peer influence on cyclist behaviour[00:21:46] Trust in the rules versus lived reality [00:24:20] Designing for behavioural cues[00:28:15] Comparison with other cities like Munich [00:30:58] The emotional context of cycling[00:34:46] Enforcement and views on potential interventions[00:38:12] Habit formation and unintended nudges [00:41:23] The interplay between education and empathy[00:46:49] Final reflections and Christian's closing thoughtsLinksElla on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-jenkins/Pete on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-dyson-9ba5301b/What drives red light running in London cyclists?, the research we discuss: https://fileserver.britainthinks.com/dl/wH4CcDyRg8bVThinks Insight: https://www.thinksinsight.com/Lime Bikes: https://www.li.me/en-gbTransport for Humans: https://www.transportforhumans.com/Pete's previous appearance on the show talking about Transport for Humans: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/pete-dyson-on-making-transport-more-human/The announcement of Pete as Cycling Mayor of Bath: https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/the-bicycle-mayor-of-bath-pete-dyson/
