A group of travellers stranded for the night in a remote Cornish station are haunted by the ghosts of other passengers killed in a smash, and even by the ghost of the train itself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julie Wood produces, assisted by Tony.\u00a0\u00a0Graham Bell joins, and will stay for 18 years.\u00a0\u00a0Mark and Clare Winton join: Mark is still acting 32 years later, although this seems to be Alistair Codona\u2019s last appearance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, we have found very few photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the final curtain, Julie announced that Mark and Clare were shortly to be married, and the backstage crew showered them with the confetti used in the action of the play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author Arnold Ridley was inspired to write the play after being stranded in a railway station near Bristol. And yes, it really is the Arnold Ridley who played Private Godfrey in Dad\u2019s Army! He wrote 20 plays, many of which were made into films<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
