This week editor of New Civil Engineer Claire Smith and news editor Rob Horgan address the multiple landslides and project delays caused by climate change in Scotland, including the recent tragic landslip which caused a train to derail and people to lose their lives. There’s also a nod to state of play with job losses in the industry – could we be facing an even more dire skills shortage in the near future?
Later, the pair are joined by Andy Lord, managing director of TfL’s London Underground, the world’s oldest railway. The conversation focuses on the impact of Covid-19 on the underground’s daily operations and services, but also touches on the Northern Line extension and the impact of the recently announced (further) delays to Crossrail and the handover of the Elizabeth Line.
