Ground Transport Media were delighted to be invited to attend the Transport for the North Annual Conference 2023 in Newcastle last week.

We had the opportunity to interview former Secretary of State for Transport Lord Patrick McLoughlin, who, as Chair of Transport for the North, took time out of his busy day to sit down and chat through issues from our Chauffeur, Courier, Private Hire Vehicle and Taxi community.

In the three questions we asked him, we chatted about inconsistent Clean Air Zones, different medical requirements for drivers, as well the negative impacts road closures have on local businesses.

You can watch the 5 minute interview in full, undertaken by myself Alan Wright, by clicking on the video below.

We would like to say a big thank you to Lord McLoughlin for kindly taking the time to sit down with us! If you are in ground transportation and have an issue you would like to raise, please feel free to reach out, as we would love to hear from you!
