Alexei Sayle takes another train journey and breaks the golden rule of travelling by train in the UK - by actually talking to his fellow passengers. In this episode, he travels from Cheltenham to Maesteg. Among his many fellow travellers, he meets: * Kevin, who on his days off, takes pot luck at his local train station ticket office and simply asks for a trip to somewhere interesting * Jenny, whose years in the middle east changed her life * Donna and Paul, who take Alexei into the addictive world of murder mystery weekends * Ruth who tells of her childhood memories in a mining community * Julie and David, who for nearly 50 years have run a general store in the Welsh valleys - now the only shop left in the village. Producers: Peter Lowe and Nick Symons A Ride production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2023.
