The Train at Platform 4Series 1
Episode 4 of 4

Gilbert the steward hides from his step-sister, while Sam faces a carriage full of Roundheads. Stars Rosie Cavaliero. From 2022.

When First Class Steward Gilbert discovers his step-sister is a passenger on the train, he's forced to spend the journey hiding from her. It seems that his whole life Gilbert has been living a lie.

Meanwhile, Sam must contend with a carriage full of Roundheads on their way to a re-enactment of the Battle of Naseby, armed with a collection of very realistic pikes.

Our heroes are the long-suffering train crew who manage to scrape through every shift like a dysfunctional family.

Comedy legends Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis's sitcom, set in the claustrophobic carriages of a cross-country rail service.
