I just got a copy of this book. I haven't read it in detail, but its printed on very nice paper. Its like a coffee table guide to the podcast.
Let me know how it is! I've had my eye on that one!I just got a copy of this book. I haven't read it in detail, but its printed on very nice paper. Its like a coffee table guide to the podcast.
Time for my fortnightly post appraising you of the knowledge that a new episode is available!
Covering the 2010 incident where a First TransPennine Express train collided with an icefall in Summit Tunnel in 2010, a little less dramatic than some previous episodes, but allowed me to keep going with a Christmas theme!

Listened last night (and followed you on your social media) and enjoyed the episode. I have travelled on the unit involved and never knew of its nickname which is a good one.Time for my fortnightly post appraising you of the knowledge that a new episode is available!

Happy to hear it, also I think you may hail from my (original) neck of the words, I grew up in Billingham!Listened last night (and followed you on your social media) and enjoyed the episode. I have travelled on the unit involved and never knew of its nickname which is a good one.

The podcasts have definitely improved over time (that's not to say that they weren't good to begin with) - taking feedback is a good sign of someone dedicated to what they're doing!I certainly will do, I liek to think the production quality has improved as we've gone on, but then my voice has gone to the dogs at the moment so Invergowrie is a bad example of that!
Poorly voice aside, another excellent episode. Quality production and I really enjoyed the music at the end of the episode. Thanks Dan!
I had thought about that, but the fact is a few episodes ago I did an episode that covered my own TOC, but I made a conscious decision to use only the information available in the RAIB report, and news articles, etc. Made a conscious decision to not use anything that I could have gained internally.I hadn't picked up on that, but that's really sad
I hope they don't try to get you to stop, particularly given that you're talking about historical matters and not anything related to the TOC or Group. It would be rather like my employer telling me not to do a podcast about historical IT failures (not that that, with a few notable exceptions, would be anywhere near as interesting).
OTOH I can see that it would be reasonable for my employer not to want me to document any IT failures that may have been attributable to them (not that I can think of any off-hand) but that wouldn't mean those by other companies would strike me as an issue.
I subscribed to it when it came out, but only just started listening. Well done indeed, for your skilful and sensitive handling of the subject matter.Episode two is in the making, spoiler alert, we'll be covering Potters Bar.
I've also set up www.signalstodanger.com where I'll be adding episode notes, maps, sources and a few photos from the reports to underline some of the points.
Glad to here you enjoyed it!
Just started listening to this as my commute soundtrack, really enjoying them so far, up to halfway through the Nuneaton one which I’d never even heard of, despite having driven through Nuneaton several times during my driving hours, none of my mentors mentioned it..
No constructive comments from me, I’m liking them just as they are!
One thing I would say, is that if anyone has any suggestions of accidents they might like to see I'd be willing to look at them. Might not get done straight away, still trying to work on pacing the "big" ones.
Opinions on sound quality etc appreciated, trialling a 7 day free trial of Adobe Addition and trying to understand whether it's worth 20 quid a month to keep using.
It's a great little website, and the links, photos and maps are very handy. Also each episode icon links to a page. A few of the later ones need added, but no doubt you're aware of that, and it's on a very long "to do" list!I've also gone back and retrospectively updated the website at www.signalstodanger.com, which frankly I've let slide for a while! Now includes a page for each episode with an embedded map and some other bits.
Congratulations - a fabulous effort for a newcommer to podcasts.So as of this morning, I've woken up to find out that the podcast has just hit 10k downloads over its total lifetime.
I'm astonished, very humbled, and very happy, and I owe a lot of that to the people within this thread, the interest and feedback I received here has certainly helped to improve the quality no end, so thank you!
I looked last night on the RSS, as the episodes seemed to go up at 2200 Sunday, and it wasn't on there then, and it still isn't in the RSS feed (which I think is the first to update and then the other places get it from there) - and it isn't there either, so it isn't guest a problem with your supplier.I am concerned though, as Dan normally uploads every two weeks, and the last episode (on Spotify) was Invergowire two weeks ago, so the next episode is overdue. Normally Dan keeps this thread updated if there are any production issues so I hope that the cold Dan seemed to be suffering in the last two episodes was nothing else other than just a cold.
Hello all,
Sorry to keep you all in suspense, don't worry, I am still here, but life has slightly gotten in the way over the last couple of days. I certainly don't want to bore you with the details of that, especially considering what everyone has been going through.
In any case, episode 14 will be coming out this evening, around about 24 hours late, and for that, I am very sorry!
Apologies for keeping you waiting!
Don't say that! I've got a couple of patrons now haha. As it stands it's currently uploading to my host so I think I've gotten away with it!I very much look forward to it, thank you and I hope whatever has got in the way has been or will be sorted out.
