Bricking It – Season 2 Episode 3: New Diggers, Broadmead Road & a Good Old Bloke Chat

Join Andy, Mike and Lawrence for another episode of Bricking It: The Universal United Kingdom Resort Podcast as we catch up on the latest developments at the future Universal resort site in Bedford. This week we discuss the ongoing works around Broadmead Road, new machinery arriving on site, archaeology progress, and what the latest activity could mean for the months ahead. We also take a moment to reflect on the recent train crash in Bedford and the impact it has had on the local community. As always, the conversation doesn't stay on the rails for long, and before you know it we're doing what three blokes do best – solving the world's problems from behind a microphone while sharing our thoughts on all things Universal UK and beyond.
