About This Podcast
Life on Rails is Greater Anglia’s new podcast, hosted by Dom Rosso and Lucy Wright. In each episode we’ll speak to special guests to look behind the scenes and find out how the railway works. We’ll be talking about new trains, how to get the cheapest fare, what makes us green and putting a spotlight on some of the people who work at Greater Anglia. We’ll also be running a travel surgery to help one guest find the ideal location to visit on our network. We’d love to hear from you, please tweet us at @GreaterAngliaPR #LifeOnRails
