The human condition in motion. Career changes, history, the process of 'station adoption'. The intimacy of radio documentary and train travel feel like they were made for each other. A truly lovely listen @AlexeiOnATrain @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds

It may be totally biased but we definitely think series 3 is as good as the last two! ;) We hope you love this year's "moving window into our lives" 🪟

[Richard Brown @r124b]

@AlexeiOnATrain New series?! Brilliant. Am firmly on the record that this is worth the licence fee on its own. Brilliant broadcasting, with a gentle, unforced, and often very moving window into our lives that shows how extraordinary the ordinary really is. Unless series 3 is crap of course ;)

[BBC Radio 4 Alexei Sayle's Strangers On A Train @AlexeiOnATrain]

It was such a pleasure to meet you on the train to Hereford @jamesreadwrites . We definitely all learnt so much about kimchi and more 🥬
