In this episode - the second part of our discussion on the Great British Railways (GBR) foundation consultation, A Railway Fit for Britain's Future) - Liam and Johannah explore their response, breaking down key implications for start ups and innovators in the rail sector.

We delve into how innovation and commercial incentives could be prioritised and measured in GBR’s new structure and discuss the need for a framework that fosters continuous improvement, grassroots creativity, and new products that enhance passenger experience.

We also make the case for stronger collaboration between government, start ups, and small digital companies ensuring that rapid, innovative solutions can meet both immediate and long-term transport needs. Who is best placed to deliver these solutions; and how can we make sure start ups have a seat at the table?

Finally, we share practical advice on how to respond to consultations effectively with a focus on solution-driven contributions.
