Vicki is the 'Tuesday Guest' in the 3rd hour - long interview plus 6
records of her choice. She's from Norfolk originally.

Good interview with most of the railway content later in the hour.

Geoff and Vicki have a book out for Christmas about All the Stations and
are planning an Irish tour in the future.

By "Irish Tour" do you mean they are doing "All The Irish Stations"?
(Although I think that would take less than a week)

Yes. There are about 250 across the whole of Ireland but some have a very
sparse service.

She said if they can get it funded, they'd like to spend more in places than
they were able to on the GB version.

So, overall, you need about 45 minutes to listen to the full
interview.

So annoying that so many of her answers start "so".

Not that many references to Ely, and I was disappointed to miss their
visit to Shippea Hill (where they apparently stayed the night before in
Ely and then got a lift to Shippea Hill, which is cheating a bit)
because they didn't do a great job of publishing their schedule even to
donors[1], and I missed it by a few days.

[1] Not even when they'd be visiting the station that *you* had
sponsored. iirc I bagged Meldreth (home of Meldrew) because
Shippea Hill went very early on.

Thanks, I'd never have stumbled on that. I'd no idea she was a dancer and
drummer, or that you could do an MA at the Globe Theatre. Interesting how
a
temporary job at Buck House can lead to a long-term job at the LT Museum.

Norfolk's my local station, and I record the 'Tuesday Guest' slot every
week.

Probably 3 out of 4 I wipe as soon as I hear who it is, but there can be
some absolute corkers on it!

Alan Partridge?

Good guesses, though completely wrong.

I see the book is listed on Amazon, and is the #1 bestseller in the railway
transport category:

The Railway Adventures: Places, Trains, People and Stations Hardcover
by Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall
Published 16 Oct 2018, Hardcover, £13.88

Judging by the comments on Twitter, the price fluctuates, and has been as
low as £11.89.

I've no doubt! Haven't got round to listening to it yet.

It didn't require any acount when I played it.

Perhaps your browser has a saved-signin?

Even if it does (I can't remember), I thought I'd see it signing in.

They do it silently and instantly.

Yes, so it seems.
