Ticket to Ride episodes

  • Tracy Brabin

    Nick Evans offers 5 ‘virtual tickets’ to Labour MP, actress and writer Tracy Brabin, allowing her to relive memorable trips from her life. Heading out to sea as a child,  being dropped into a war zone as an MP, and a visit to Asia with Jane Seymour may all seem a long way from her native Batley & Spen, but Tracy explains why they’ve helped shape her view as a citizen of the world.
