4. Smart Train

When an update goes wrong, the train’s automated systems cause chaos, in the comedy set in the carriages of a cross-country rail service. By Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis.

When an update goes wrong, the train’s automated systems cause chaos, in the comedy set in the claustrophobic carriages of a cross-country rail service. Starring Rosie Cavaliero and written by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis.

Dodgy air conditioning, indecipherable announcements, toilet doors that open randomly – it sounds like your average train journey. But this time things are even worse than normal, as Sam and the team attempt to wrestle back control of a train gone haywire.

The Train at Platform 4 follows the long-suffering crew who manage to scrape through every shift like a dysfunctional family – Train Manager, Sam (Rosie Cavaliero; Inside No. 9) First Class Steward, Noel (Hugh Dennis; Outnumbered), and Trolley Operator Tash (Amy Geldhill; Alma’s Not Normal). The passengers are made up of a rolling roster of guest stars.
