The Ghost Train

Arnold Ridley's classic comedy thriller, The Ghost Train, was first produced in 1925 and has been a firm favourite with professional and non-professional theatre companies ever since. Six passengers find themselves stranded late at night in the waiting room of an isolated Cornish railway station. Ignoring the ghostly tales and dire warnings of the stationmaster, they decide to stay where they are until morning - with terrifying consequences.

Arnold Ridley is best known to modern audiences as the gentle Private Godfrey in Dad's Army although, in contrast to this character, he fought in both the First and Second World Wars and had the unusual distinction of being invalided out of the British Army twice.
