The Quiet Coach: Finding Stillness on the Move with Ella Eyre
Description
In this Quiet Coach episode of Routes from LNER, Jenni Falconer sits down for a calm catch-up with singer-songwriter Ella Eyre to talk about her favourite travel rituals, go-to comfort snacks, and the little luxuries that make touring life bearable. From her love of skincare routines and Yorkshire Tea-dipped jammy dodgers to her trusty travel kettle for those American hotels that never have one, Ella proves she’s got the art of the journey nailed.
She shares the travel moments that shaped her most, from life at boarding school in Somerset to the inspiration she found in Japan’s culture, food, and impeccable knives. There’s plenty of warmth and humour too, as she reveals her obsession with crisps, her deep affection for off-menu podcasts, and why she can’t travel without her own pillow that smells like home.
And in true Quiet Coach style, Ella reflects on the lessons travel has taught her, staying calm when things go wrong, adapting quickly, and always finding light at the end of a delayed connection. It’s a soft, funny, and surprisingly honest listen that proves even global pop stars need a good biscuit, a face mask, and a plan B plug adapter.
