Planes, Trains and Automobiles

From a Russian train station in London to airport names. Paul Sinha uncovers the role transport played in history. From 2016.

Paul asks "How did we get here?", quite literally, getting the studio audience to tell him how they got to the BBC Radio Theatre, and then regaling them with stories from the history of transport.

From the area of London that became a Russian train station, to the man who revolutionised both the motor industry and the music charts, to the names of airports around the world.

Paul is telling all about the world of planes, trains and automobiles revealing fascinating facts and surprising stories (unless you listen on a weekend, when a bus replacement service is in operation).

This is the series that uncovers the fascinating stories that we've forgotten in our onward march of progress.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.
