Account of disaster is wrong - there was no goods train involved or switching of tracks, The disaster involved three north bound trains leaving Brighton at short intervals. Signalling through the tunnel was on the time interval basis and the signalman’s confusion about whether trains had cleared the tunnel resulted in the the third trains running into 5e back of the second. Idea for the play might be based on the fact that many theatricals frequented the Brighton line, Olivier being the most notable.
Today : both would have spent the entire journey scrolling through messages and updating FB Status while listening to music via headphone . No conversation of any kind. ( On balance : considering what a prat the guy was that may have been preferable ? )
P S. In my experience : if you start up a conversation with a random stranger on a train you are immediately suspected of being a creep or a Serial killer . Best not to do it !!
Have always put this in one of my fav categories, the "so bad it's good". Slight detail ahead: Good thing she didn't have a weak heart nor a very sharp hat pin, but he most likely wouldn't have felt it anyway. LOL Thanks as always RV
What makes a fantastic play ? As the person listens to the play he is excitingly stressed, the fright of the next continuing sentence, As the gentleman explains the train ride from hell.. So take the time out to listen to this play, The excitement of the entanglement of how he categorises the next frightful moment of this train ride from the hell. So I advise you to do that as well as hundreds maybe even thousands of people as the train car sways from side-to-side.. and how the people ride to their death. Within a few paragraphs of frightful suspense.

The only irritating thing about this particular story is The woman constantly crying out loud. It begins to get very annoying If you're going to do it, just get it over with. And spare her from the constant Crying out loud.

Good twist but the acting appalling especially the so called working class Londoners - the police sergeant outstandingly bad Worse thanDick Van Dyke's "cockerney".
I should have stuck with my instinct and switched off, but seeing the comments promising a good twist, I listened all the way through..... more fool me. We all have different tastes - this was far too infuriating for mine. The old adverts are hilarious, if baffling the first time of hearing!
Enjoyed this all the more for knowing the London to Brighton line so well.
I love these sort of stories but then again I love Victorian Railway history and there was an actual Clayton Tunnel disaster.

Brilliant Terrific story. So well read
This is so sick, I can’t wait for ‘the twist’.
sick ? I heard nothing in bad taste or anything sick.
Sadism is sick
The term "Sick" in modern parlance means "Jolly Good".
Thank you 😊
Superb story, the final twist most unexpected

Great story, well acted. Especially loved the twist in the tale. Thank you.

What a creep! She was so compliant I'd have pulled the stop cord within 5 minutes!

I was wondering where this was going...but enjoyed it by the end.
I had to skip because of the *tension* & *suspense!*
I absolutely love English dramas ❤😁 from Tasmania 🇦🇺
So bad it's great. Really enjoyed it :)
Really clever twist 🙂❤️
This is definitely one to listen to, to the end. Though it is not one I would want to listen to late at night.... on my own!!

What is a Mother....
Love the old ads! LOL The detergent with "sun flecks" 👍😁
It struck me just how long that elusive 1% of basically all things has bested us! 😁
My sound stopped with several seconds to go …as she stepped off of the train!
She got away .... That's a relief. 🤓
I don't think either the play or adverts would make it to production today 😀
Daft ending
Daft play !
Ok, I’m 4 minutes in. Does this bloke go on like this for the whole play….?
I'm 15 minutes in and he's still at it
A cracker.Thanks Radio Vault
There’s a train loony on literally every train in the UK.
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Can anyone tell me if this is clean? Can kids listen to this?
enjoyable but tbh i skipped the middle 20 minutes
So did I. Twice as long as it needed to be; and never believable.
I am 18 minutes in an i am confused on what happened to thr young woman but lets see if i csn find out
The only irritating thing about this particular story is
The woman constantly crying out loud.
It begins to get very annoying
If you're going to do it, just get it over with.
And spare her from the constant Crying out loud.
Spoilers ahead :(
Like Dickens' "The Signalman" but nowhere near as good.

As the train horn blows
She screams her last breath of horror,
-- As he said,
As he is emotionally expressing, he looks into her eyes:
--- He say's : darling you said exactly what I was thinking ;
Now as he knows when the routine horn blows on the train as it enters the tunnel. He has practiced this, timed how long it takes to get through the tunnel. ?
He has mentally rehearsed this mental moment and now it's time to play the game.
The lights come on as the train leaves the tunnel, people see her and assumed that she is just sleeping.
-- Within 19 seconds they'll be another,
-- this is when he makes his departure,
-- with her and threw her off the back of the train
-- no matter she's already dead.
-- then he climbs the ladder of the last train car and continues to train cars ahead, were most of the people on the train car assumed that they walked off.
-- In reality someone will find a corpse bounced
around the train tracks
-- this is how I would have ended the play :
-- Where he is free
Although ,
-- She's nothing but a dead corpse. As the speed and velocity of the train moving, unfortunately the corpse is now dismembered.
laying on the tracksand she is dead.
--. This how I would write one of my plays.
-- Where you won't be able to sleep where you mentally see the man throw her lifeless over the railing of the last.

Hmm.... Look around you ? Can you see any men wearing white coats ? Don't worry . They're here to help you.....just relax.!
Everything will be fine.
Good twist but the acting appalling especially the so called working class Londoners - the police sergeant outstandingly bad Worse thanDick Van Dyke's "cockerney".
Enjoyable, but milkmaid's accent was truly, truly god awful.

I was at the point of sticking forks onto my temples, just 4 minutes in.
I think I’d have lamped him after 5 minutes
Quite silly but still entertaining enough.
Even the commercials ridiculous. 😂
I got bored after half an hour, sorry.
You should have stuck to it. It was fun.

The constant sound of the train made it impossible for me and my ADD to listen to the whole show. Too bad. I think I might have really liked it.
It’s probably not your ADD, it’s booooooring 😂
