About Green Signals

Green Signals is a show about railways - its politics, its economics, its people and history. We turn over the issues of the day and talk to the people making the decisions that affect all our lives. We also dig into many of the amazing events in the history of an industry that spans nearly 200 years. Nigel Harris (former Managing Editor and Events Director of the leading industry and opinion forming magazine RAIL) and Richard Bowker (former Chair & CEO of the Strategic Rail Authority) steer the show to make it sometimes controversial, frequently irreverent - but always topical and relevant.

It was built to serve the lead, silver, zinc and copper mining industry in the Cameron mountains east of Devils Bridge. However for most of its life it ended up actually carrying tourists because the mines had been seeing a decline from the 1870s onwards and this railway wasn't opened until 1902. So although the earliest plans to link Aberystwyth and Devils Bridge by rail were made in 1845 in the height of the mining industry, by 1902 when the railway was finally completed nearly 90% of the mines are closed.
