"Oh! Mr Porter, what can I do? I want to go to Truro but they have put me off at Fa! Vale wayside station in South Cornwall." "I keeps on telling ye, there bain't no next train and I'm the stationmaster - not the Porter!" But is there a next train? When the signal bell rings a train will come tearing through the station, brakes on and whistles a-blowing. It must be The Ghost Train! Or is it? Find out as the six unfortunate stranded passengers find out and be prepared to be afraid, very afraid!
