A storm. A stranded station. And something screaming through the night…

Step aboard for a spine‑tingling ride with The Ghost Train, Arnold Ridley’s classic comedy-thriller that has had audiences laughing and gasping for generations.

When a group of mismatched travellers become trapped overnight in a remote railway waiting room, they’re warned of a terrifying legend: a phantom train hurtling through the darkness… bearing the dead from a long-ago train disaster. As nerves fray and secrets unravel, initial disbelief terrifyingly turns into fear, in a night packed with suspense, sharp wit and unexpected twists.

Funny, fast-paced and deliciously eerie, The Ghost Train is the perfect evening of theatrical escapism — where every creak, whistle and flicker of light keeps you guessing until the final curtain.

All aboard… if you dare!
