There's nothing more eerie than the story of a ghost train,
Something which runs on the day, which is an anniversary of a rail disaster, maybe.

I think nothing is more atmospheric as a deserted railway station
whilst you are waiting for the last train,
And your only companions are the rats.
I love the atmosphere of damp expectation.
The 3.00 am up express to Hell via the World's End.
Any darkness is crisp enough to find the bleary eyed driver
Slowing to a dead screech of brakes
In front of an unfortunate passenger,
Who waits in vain
For a sensible train
Which will take him to a destination
From which he will ever be able to return.
Remember classic ghost stories like The Twilight Zone "Stop-over at Willoughby"
And Jenny Agutter in the TV show 'Shadows' (1975) " The Waiting Room".
