6.07 /// The Day ROBIN WILLIAMS May Have Dodged Me...

Send us a message 🤘The platform has a way of turning ordinary minutes into stories you tell for years. Join me on a whistle-stop tour of celebrity encounters from the UK railways: a voice that sounded exactly like Patrick Stewart’s in the crush of a busy platform, a Sunday scheme to get “overcarried” just to speak to Louise Redknapp, and a fleeting café moment that felt unmistakably like Robin Williams—eyes bright, quick smile, and gone before I could be sure. Each scene sits at the edge of work and wonder, where duty pulls one way and curiosity tugs the other.We talk about the unglamorous reality of public travel for famous people and the rules that protect their privacy. I share how customer service on the concourse shaped my view of celebrity: people first, travellers second, names last. The Manchester Commonwealth Games brought athletes and teams through the station in waves, while a brief chat with Helen Baxendale reset how screen personas distort our expectations. The memory that still glows, though, is a quiet meeting with Pete Postlethwaite, who remembered my brother by name and signed an autograph under the stairs to avoid a crowd. It was a masterclass in kindness without spectacle.If you love behind-the-scenes stories, British rail nostalgia, and the delicate dance between admiration and respect, this one’s for you. You’ll hear how I approach a famous face with grace, when best to hold back, and why the best memories sometimes stay a maybe. Subscribe for more unscripted tales from the tracks, share with a friend who loves a good near-miss, and leave a review to tell me your best unexpected celebrity moment.Support the showPlease remember to check out my website /social media, and support me if you feel you can.Subscribewww.infinite-prattle.comInstagram, Twitter, TikTok & Facebook Thanks!
