Trashfuture Avanti West Coast feat. Gareth Dennis
This week’s bonus features writer and rail engineer Gareth Dennis (@GarethDennis), host of the Rail Natter YouTube show, discussing the current state of British trains. The Tories are ideologically opposed to state capacity, sure, that’s table stakes, but did you know that Labour also promise to not fix the unavoidable problems with the UK’s rail network? Shocking, we realise. Also, we discuss a mental health startup.

I'm sorry, "Dom Cummings???" I'm late to British politics, ig
Bonus enjoyer unity
Mark me down as a bonus moan-enjoyer
Personally I find the "Bonus" noises both off-putting and hilarious. Keep up the goo(f)d work!
Honestly, the day I unsub will when you STOP doing the bonus noise. It's the one of the best bits. I don't even care if people come onto the Patreon feed for the first time not knowing what's going on. If you've got a sense of humour to begin with, you'll go along with it. The Hogs demand the moans! 🐖🐷🐽
I will unsub if Riley stops hating the Bonus noise
I don't care how much it costs I will buy an Obvious Fraud Office windbreaker. I will buy two. Give me the windbreakers, please.
I think it was this episode, I think I know the YouTube channel that Riley keeps getting recommended. Was it Trek Trendy? Because I keep getting recommended it as well and it probably says a lot about my interests
Controversial take: like the bonus voice, hate the free one voice
Needs more moans the free one
me and a colleague found out a few weeks ago that Chamillionaire describes himself as a venture raptivist in his insta bio and have not shut up about it since
Bonus voice good.
This episode should be called “derail natter”
Ah shite, I wrote this about half way thru because of all the digressions. I didn’t realise they were gonna get onto actual derailments
LISTENER: we all forgot to Barnabas Biblebobs my name.
Maritime journo here - the beauty of the rail line to Felixstowe is that the passing loops are significantly too short to allow efficient operation at the port. A port operator told me they have been trying to get the government to look at it properly for well over a decade. Luckily, there is the fallback solution of the absolutely bulletproof and carbon efficient *checks notes* A12 and A14.
Can confirm. It is completely bonkers that the line is still single - though it is mostly because government doesn't want to tackle Ely North Junction (the next bottleneck along the line that a double track connection to Felixstowe would expose).
I love both the Free One and Bonus voices and also long episodes!
I love it
Are people put off by the episodes being too long? I basically can’t get enough. 1 hour, 2 hour, all good!
This listener is always here for the bonus voice
i love the bonus voice. bonus voice lovers won’t be silenced
The bonus voice is what keeps me going every week.
Let Milo moan
Sucked off by a twink. Milo can moan or do unlimited Keir impersonations any time.
I like the moan a little too much
If the bonus moan is banned I’m unsubbing. Non of that wokaganda
Amazing clown honk.
sorry I like the moan.
I welcome the moan
But I don't encourage Milo to go any further!
More erotic grunting please
Gruntings is the only language us TF hogs speak
As a brit living in Germany im begging u to do a live show in frankfurt x
Anywhere but Berlin.
I, a listener, support Bonus Moans
What was the big tally mark in the "we were wrong column" they were referring to?
Brexit?
Bonus voice/free-one voice - good! ≈90 minute episodes - also good! Gareth Dennis episodes - excellent! Britain - terrible, as ever.
I love the bonus voice!
I have missed the dulcet tones and sheer eroticism of the bonus voice.
I too love the bonus voice
I for one welcome the bonus voice, and encourage it to go further
I remember Gareth from the time he went on WTYP and managed to shock Liam into total silence by reciting a (I think Bobby Burns) poem.
CORRECT.
No, Riley--only you hate it. It has been missing from most recent bonus episodes and I have been disappointed each and every time.
I recognize and appreciate the bonus voice as an effective marketing scheme.
I love the bonus voice so much! Once it was established, I upped the patreon tier immediately. I will not elaborate further.
I love that Riley hates the bonus voice. And the free voice.
As a listener, I love the bonus voice (and the free one bit), but mostly because Riley expresses his hatred for it every time and is powerless to stop it.
I honestly don't know which is worse, a scab union or a police union.
I think probably a police union. I was a bit mean about the TSSA, and I think they do a lot of good worker support. But their membership is certainly a different slice of society than the RMT, for example.
oooh fuck yeah bonus voice, that's just what i needed
Plot twist: they give all the freight to the narrow boaters and put the canal and river trust in charge of British freight.
If Milo doesn't do the bonus voice then it won't feel like a Wednesday And it is Wednesday my dudes
One of the Channel Islands still has a railway. I reckon the gang could probably buy a concession with our Patreon money. I think it's barely 5 miles long, but that just means none of Milo's bits will go stale in the dining car.
Full time Gareth! Full time Gareth! Full time Gareth!
bUwUnous mUwUns!!!
The soup is excellent today I adore the yummy sprinkling of bonus moans thankyou very muchly
THERE'S A SINGLE TRACK TO FELIXSTOW??? It's been a long time since I've been jokerfied by an episode but WHAT
Shocked and ashamed that my favourite podcast missed a chance to make a Virgin Technicals joke. C'mon lads (and lass), this isn't the quality content I pay the big bucks for!
For the record as a long time listener the bonus voice is the only reason I am subscribed to the Patreon. Please do not look at my profile for all of the other Trashfuture adjacent podcasts I also subscribe to.
I like the bonus voice, but mainly because it irritates Riley. Ditto for the free one.
It's good Riley should do the bonus noise too
Riley and Alice are wrong! I LOVE THE BONUS VOICE TOO!
I have to say, I love the bonus voice. It helps me start my day.
An unstoppable moan meets an immovable Riley
