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 through Devon and Cornwall from Exeter to Newquay.

Among his many fellow travellers, he meets:

* Finn who has swapped his job at Nandos for a life in the Royal Navy looking after helicopters

* Andrew who is about to run up the Cornish coastal path to meet his girlfriend who is running down it the other way

* Paula and James who share a love of music, especially in Paula鈥檚 case, the harpsichord

* Julian who has just returned from being a volunteer crew member on an historic Brixham trawler

* Eta and Rowan who are both determined travellers and tell Alexei of a visit to Chernobyl - while Alexei surprises them with his own very unusual insight into the historic city of Petra in Jordan.

Producers: Peter Lowe and Nick Symons
