About this episode

As further strike action hits air, road, and rail over Christmas, we discuss the implications with the the country’s most recognised travel journalist Simon Calder, and Radio 2’s travel reporter Bobbie Pryor.

And Scotland makes history in passing a bill that makes it easier to change your legal gender. This episode of Newscast is presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Alix Pickles and Phil Marzouk. The studio manager was Mike Regaard. The assistant editor was Alison Gee.
