Arnold Ridley's 1920s thriller, adapted by Shaun McKenna.
 The last steam train from London to Cornwall carries a disparate group of travellers. The last thing any of them needs is to be stranded on a deserted railway station which is the object of a terrible local superstition. Music composed by: Andy Price Director: Marion Nancarrow Richard Winthrop: Christopher Wright Elsie Winthrop: Tracy Ann Oberman. Teddie Deakin: Adam Godley Charles Murdock: David Brooks Peggy Murdock: Alison Pettitt [Actor]: Emily Joyce [Actor]: Ann Beach [Actor]: John Turner [Actor]: Hugh Dickson [Actor]: Gerard McDermott [Actor]: Brian Parr Saturday Playhouse: The Ghost Train Saturday 24th January 1998, 14:30  BBC Radio 4 FM A long running success in London and on Broadway and packed with thrills, chills and laughter. In a remote Cornish station there's a legend of a phantom locomotive sweeping through the village leaving death in its wake. Smugglers use this and the villagers' superstition to their advantage but a not-as-incompetent-as-he-seems detective clears up the mystery of the spectre and attendant deaths. His seemingly silly actions result in the apprehension of the evildoers and the little village and its station are finally at peace. For sheer, creeping mystery, it's a play without a peer.
