The Train at Platform 4

BBC Radio 4

(4.4 estrellas; 12 reseñas)

Comedy legends Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis bring a new sitcom to Radio 4, set in the claustrophobic carriages of a cross-country rail service. Our heroes are the long-suffering train crew who manage to scrape through every shift like a dysfunctional family – Train Manager Sam, First Class Stewards Noel and Gilbert, Catering Manager Dev, and Trolley Operator Tasha. The passengers are made up of a rolling roster of guest stars.

In various episodes, the crew faces challenges such as a maiden voyage with high hopes, a missing celebrity cat, and an anarchic party of school children. Each scenario brings its own chaos, from a bag falling from the luggage rack to a moral crisis over a reserved seat. With a mix of humor and relatable situations, this series captures the essence of train travel.
