Discover the people around you . . .

Have you even wondered who you are sitting next to on a train? Do overheard conversations, unusual luggage and first impressions make you ponder? Have you even invented a story about the stranger sitting opposite you? Let our Train Conductor carry you away with madcap stories of passion, grief and mystery as he is inspired by brief glimpses into the everyday lives of his passengers. As his imagined stories contrast with the romances and tragedies of the passenger’s real lives, we follow the Conductor’s own struggle to reconnect with his daughter and face up to an uncertain future.

A heart-warming comedy drama for people-watchers, train-spotters and story-lovers aged 12+

‘This is a comedy drama well worth seeing, train travel will never be the same again!’
