In 1999, Pam Warren survived the Paddington train crash — Britain's worst rail disaster of the 20th century — and became known as "The Lady in the Mask."  In this episode of Finding Better, I sit down with Pam to talk about surviving  unimaginable tragedy, rebuilding her identity after trauma, and how she took on the UK government to make British rail one of the safest in Europe.
