Planes, trains and automobiles: the travails of travel
Об эпизоде
<p>Easter weekend is a busy travel time for the many people who celebrate it. If you’re lucky, it means some time off work. But you might be unlucky, and travel through a terrible airport (we talk about the world’s worst). Or perhaps you’ll splash out and take one of the many sleeper train services that are cropping up (we discuss why train travel is such a draw, particularly for artists). Or you might get stuck in traffic (we visit the places where traffic jams are seen as opportunity rather than nuisance). Safe travels!</p><p><br></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
