Your travel correspondents, Jane and Fi, bring you this edition of the podcast. They’ve ridden the trains to work - they're just like us! They ask: is kitchen towel actually relevant? Do companies hear you when they put you on hold? Will moving pavements ever become a thing? 'What have you got for lunch?'
