From packing three suitcases at once for a cruise, a band tour and a Portugal getaway, to letting his wife always face forward on trains, Chesney Hawkes joins Jenni Falconer on The Quiet Coach to talk travel, timing and the occasional case of mistaken identity. He explains why he always heads for the quiet coach, and why punctuality matters so much to him.
Chesney also shares the story of his mum's ringtone causing a scene in the middle of TK Maxx, and opens up about being a self-confessed stress-packer who somehow still manages to overpack shoes he never wears. In the "Snacks, Tracks & Hacks" segment, he reveals why hydration always comes first, how his wife keeps him stocked with healthy snacks, and why his train listening leans more towards political podcasts than his own back catalogue.
Plus, there's talk of his new album Living Arrows and a big local moment headlining The Long Walk Live in Windsor alongside Right Said Fred. Warm, funny and full of nostalgia, this is a conversation about staying grounded and never quite escaping The One and Only.
