THE GHOST TRAIN
by Arnold Ridley
8th to 11th October 2025 - The Paget Rooms, Penarth
An unexpected group of railway travellers find themselves stranded in the waiting room of an isolated train station. The station master tries to persuade them to leave as he is closing the station for the night. When they refuse, he warns them of the supernatural danger of the Ghost Train that haunts the line at night, bringing death to all who set eyes upon it. Incredulous of his story, the travellers still refuse to leave. The Station Master departs, leaving them to face a night at the station. Maybe, just maybe, they might become witnesses of the Ghost Train.
