Capital Breakfast Star Sian Welby Just Loves A UK Seaside and a Penny Arcade

Capital Breakfast Show host and This Morning presenter, Sian Welby, joins Jenni Falconer on the latest episode of Routes from LNER.  Sharing stories and places that have shaped her the most, from hosting shows in Times Square at 19, to girls' holidays in Spain at 16, to more recently travel  with a toddler.  The down- to- earth star lives life to the full but still loves a UK seaside.


There are so many places in Britain that are brilliant to go to. And we always think  it's going to be much better just to go abroad. But actually, there's so many amazing places to see in the UK.”

- Sian Welby


Sian tells Jenni how childhood holidays to Skegness sparked a lifelong passion for travel, and slot machines,  leading to unexpected adventures filming in Las Vegas as a teenager and later covering Formula E races across the globe. She discusses the  challenges of early morning radio, her beloved 6am club, and memorable on-air moments including her viral Star Wars weather forecast.
