From a childhood connection to 200 years of rail to his vision for its future, listen to Worldline’s COO warning on why the industry must heed the lessons of the past. In a forthright interview, he reveals how he’s pinning his hopes on Great British Railways and the passionate people working in rail to reshape the network – without government interference.
He insists AI is no more of a threat than the first steam engine once was and urges policy makers to ensure rail’s survival by reshaping it as a societal asset, rather than a liability. Frustrated by engineering shut-downs, failure to deliver on time promises and “fundamentally wrong” ticket pricing, James calls on the next generation to play its part in returning the rock and roll glory days to rail for another 200 years.
