Alexei Sayle takes a train journey and breaks the golden rule of travelling by train in the UK - he actually talks to his fellow passengers.

This time, he's travelling from London to Glasgow.

Among his many fellow travellers, he meets:

* Roshny and Sharon, on holiday from Indonesia, who have just fulfilled a lifetime’s dream of watching Liverpool play at Anfield

* Laurence who has been to his public speaking club which he joined to overcome his extreme shyness

* Kirsty who has lived most of her life on a sheep farm overlooking the stunningly beautiful Holy Loch in Argyll and Bute

Producers: Peter Lowe & Nick Symons

A Ride production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2022.
