What can we expect from this episode
At the best of times, taking a train can be a hassle; at the worst, it can be a nightmare. We have first-hand accounts from passengers whose trains derailed. From bizarre roadblocks to harrowing train rides. This John Sergeant-narrated 90-minute special will require you to pay attention to the distance between you and the screen at all times.
On the hottest day of the year, the power goes out on the train, leaving the passengers to sweat it out without air conditioning.
When a speeding train collides with a truck at a level crossing, the driver’s quick actions save everyone inside the car. And panic ensues on the London tube when a smoke-filled car fills with terrified commuters.
One other tale involves a woman who is shocked to see her metro train pull out of the station with its doors wide open. When a swan is blamed for delays during rush hour, passengers are left wondering what is going on. Passengers on the London to Bournemouth service are stuck in the storm and will have to spend the night on the train. As well as some breathtaking international train journeys, there are also some terrifying encounters at level crossings and on platforms. and here we were feeling sorry for ourselves!
