Publisher Description
Thanks to the mindless actions of Teddy Deakin, a group of mismatched rail passengers find themselves stranded in a dark and isolated station, having missed the last connection of the night. Tales of superstition prevail as the local station master—unable to persuade them to leave—reveals that twenty years ago a train crashed, leaving a number of passengers dead. Legend has it that the station is still haunted as the train relives its final moments as it roars through the station to its demise. The passengers begin to panic as the body of the station master is found on the platform, and a mysterious young lady arrives, foretelling the second coming of the Ghost Train.
