- The birthplace of the railway is often said to be the coalfields of North-East England. We are joined by Nick Richardson in this first half of a two-part episode.
Nick sets the scene as we discuss the landscape, the technology, and the people of the coal mining communities.

Growing up in South Shields in the 70s I have vivid memories of the noise of the wagons from Westoe pit being shunted by the electrics late at night over Westoe bridges through Chichester (Chi) down to the sidings at West Park (behind the pigeon lofts / crees) where they would be picked up by diesels onto the main line
Fascinating stuff, looking forward to Part 2
Really enjoyed this very interesting and informative podcast. The industry behind the railways is something I think a lot of railway enthusiasts are also interested in. Looking forward to part 2.
During WW I most U.S. Navy capital ships did not operate out of England because our capital ships were oil fired, and they couldn't refuel in England. It is also why the U.S. developed underway replenishment. Some of the earliest oil drilling was in Pennsylvania in 1859.
In regard to the brotherhood of coal miners, the famous actor Richard Burton, who was born in the Welsh valleys, returned to see his family, by this time Richard was very wealthy. He offered his father anything he wanted, a big house a car etc and he refused because he wanted to be with his brothers in arms, the miners.
Sorry Nick to bring it up but in 1913 there was 60 million tons produced in South Wales and which half was exported. 💪🏴
Burning coal cleanly? Aye good one lol
Yeah I don't think the actual burning part can be 100% clean. When this thing is discussed it's usually about capturing particulates after the burn.

Ye carbon capture is a bit of a pie in the sky thing. The Canadian one that everyone uses as an example of it working sadly was nonsense.
Plenty of good things about these podcasts, but, nothing personal, perhaps some constructive feedback? First, the use of American word whiskers that are a huge distraction, namely, saying 'like' unnecessarily. Second, I think they need editing for discussions that start to get off topic, such as podcast creation. I think half an hour is sufficient per episode.
Thanks 👍🏼 Nah I don’t really want to do the post-covid 30 minute podcast format that everyone else is doing now, I prefer to make them the length I feel they should be rather than having to stick to a time limit, people can always pause if they want to. It’s not a money making exercise, just a hobby.
All the podcasts are heavily edited to remove as many ‘think words’ and mess-ups as possible but I don’t go so far as to make the audio super choppy. The order is also often changed or re-records dropped in, irrelevant sections chopped out etc.
Thanks for listening though!
