TfL 25: The Eyes of the World on London - with Heather Small and Pete Reed
The biggest events in London's recent history have all had TfL at their centre, everything from the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, to the 7/7 attacks, and regular planned events like Notting Hill Carnival and Pride - and Tim Dunn is on a whirlwind transport mission to meet four key personalities who were, as they say, in the room where it happened. Legendary singer Heather Small sits down with a very starstruck Tim to chat about her role in London 2012 (including her famous rendition of her song 'Proud', as well as her passion for London and how she'll never leave the neighbourhood where she was born. Tim also speaks with gold medal winning Olympian Pete Reed, one of the heroes of the London games, to hear about his memories of that glorious summer. Pete suffered a spinal stroke in 2019, which means he now uses a wheelchair. He campaigns for better accessibility, and speaks about the importance of better provision on public transport, and the challenges that remain, as well as a unique traffic light project he worked on with TfL. Tim also speaks with TfL's Mark Evers, the former Director of Games Transport in the leadup to the Olympics and Paralympics, before heading to meet the one-and-only Joan Saunders-Reece, Emergency Planning Manager and the first female train operator on the Victoria line, to hear more about her incredible career and involvement in major London events - including the response and experience of the London bombings on 7/7. _________________________ Mind the Gap is the Official Podcast of TfL, created by TfL. _________________________ In her interview, Heather Small mentions that she is currently on tour, and more information can be found via her social media at https://www.instagram.com/heathersmallmpeople/ _________________________ A special thanks to the TfL25 corporate sponsors of this special edition podcast, they are:  A.J Wells, Alstom, Arriva, First Bus, Go Ahead London, Keolis Amey Docklands, Links Signs, Metroline, Siemens, Stagecoach, Stewart Signs and Transport UK
