[/quote] The Ghost Train was a play and movie written in the 1930's by Arnold Ridley, a British playwright and actor. He's best remembered for playing the part of Pte. Godfrey in the BBC TV comedy "Dad's Army". The basic plot is this: A train is delayed by the actions of an idiot passenger and as a result a number of people (including the person who caused the delay!) miss their connection for the branch line to Fal Vale at Fal Junction. The station master urges them not to stay on the station at Fal Junction claiming that it's haunted. But because its miles from anywhere and its raining the stranded passengers refuse to move despite the station master's dire warnings about what happens to anyone who spends a night on Fal Junction. It transpires that these stories are being put about by a gang of gun runners who dont want people to find out that they're using the station as their hideout, while the guy who delayed the train turns out to be an undercover cop whose been on their trail for a while and at last manages to catch them. In the play the gun runners were originally communists (Ridley, like another Arnie, was a true blue conservative!) but in the movie as the Russians had entered WW2 on our side by then the baddies are Nazi 5th columnists. T The railway scenes are mostly stock footage of Great Western trains on the sea wall at Dawlish in Devon, whilst the swing bridge over which the baddies try to make their escape is Barmouth Bridge in Wales.
