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 Birmingham to Stansted Airport.

Among his many fellow travellers, he meets:

* Adam, a student at Cambridge on his way back to college with his mum Helen. Adam introduces Alexei to the mysterious world of competitive Pokemon.

* Holly who lives in Bali and is dedicated to studying and saving sharks

* Megan, who was born in Arizona and is on her way to her first ever key note speech at the prestigious Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge

* Katrin and Klara who have been on holiday in the UK, are flying home to Germany from Stansted, and are great fans of English humour.

Producers: Peter Lowe and Nick Symons
