Cheltenham to Maesteg
Alexei Sayle journeys from Cheltenham to Maesteg, breaking a golden rule by talking to his fellow passengers. From 2023.
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.
