New Horizons - Episode 577

In this episode of New Horizons we speak with Martin Stewart of Melbourne.  Martin was recently named Blind Australian of the year by the Blind Alliance.  He joins us to highlight passenger safety on rail travel, not just for blind and vision impaired people but for everyone.  The NSW government is considering removing guards from several of their rail lines in an effort to save costs.  Martin discusses the ramifications of such a decision, and the heavy toll it could take on passengers.  It's not all bad news though, particularly for commuters  in Melbourne.
