The Titfield Thunderbolt

A Play by Philip Goulding.
Based on original screenplay by T.E.B. Clarke.

The branch line between Mallingford and Titfield is losing money and British Rail is intent on closing it down. In desperation the villagers exploit the 1947 Transport Act and decide to take charge and run it themselves backed by a monied member of the community who is attracted by the complete lack of licensing hours on trains, as he loves a tipple. As well as convincing the railway authorities that they
are competent to work the line, they have to face problems from Vernon Crump who is set on providing a competitive bus service.

Based on the hilarious Ealing comedy that we all (hopefully) know and love, it provides an evening of hilarious entertainment for both young and old alike.

So all aboard for a rollicking evening of hilarious nostalgia!
