Ever wonder what your trusted journalists really sound like before the edit button saves the day, and what those messy moments reveal about the pressures and pace of our industry?
In highways and transport technology, credibility is everything: you’re expected to be polished in public, confident on panels, and precise when you speak to stakeholders. But the reality is far less tidy as you’ll hear today on Highways Voices.

This special “Christmas bloopers” episode is a light-hearted mirror of a serious truth decision-makers know well, but even experts stumble when the work is complex and the environment is noisy. Listening in, you’ll recognise the human side of your own world, where the big ideas still land, even if the first take doesn’t.
WARNING – THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CLIPS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK, SO PLEASE DO NOT PLAY IF YOU OR YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE OFFENDED BY BAD LANGUAGE.
Hit play for a quick, end-of-year reset that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and quietly reassuring—because even the people driving the highways conversation don’t always nail it on take one.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Highways News – here’s to a slicker year of Highways Voices in 2026!
Highways Voices is brought to you with our partners the Transport Technology Forum, LCRIG, ADEPT and ITS UK.
