Transport and Health Integrated research NetworK - THINK Podcast
THINK is a collaboration between the psychology department of Aberystwyth University and Public Health Wales, and is funded by Health and Care Research Wales to improve health outcomes for all, in relation to transport. The network is made up of individuals working in academic, practitioner, policy or charity roles across different areas of transport and health. THINK facilitates research, training and seminars to develop knowledge and provide opportunities to work collaboratively across four different themes - air and noise pollution; injuries and deaths stemming from vehicle crashes; the impact of active travel (walking and cycling) on health; and the impact of vehicles dividing communities. You can sign up as a member of THINK for free on the website https://think.aber.ac.uk/sign-up/ or follow us @TransportHealth

THINK presents a variety of perspectives on how we can fall in love with the buses again across Wales and the UK.
Hear from campaigners working hard to save their bus routes, retired bus drivers who reflect on how things used to be and what can be done to improve the current situation, a bus and coach industry representative and academics who provide tips on getting more passengers by making bus provision feel safer for more people, and how to get the message out to a wider audience about the benefits of bus travel.
The recording was made in various locations including outside and online so the sound quality varies slightly.
Amy Nicholass and Charles Musselwhite from THINK wish to thank to Elly Foster, David Marshall, Rosemary Corcoran, Dr Lucy Baker, Katherine Parsons, Aaron Hill and Roger French for giving their time for free to take part in the recording.
