WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Adam (Enoch) and Emma (Scodelario) frequently travel by train to London from their picture-perfect village of Langton, meeting the same passengers every day. One day, with Christmas fast approaching, the train breaks down in the countryside with everyone still on board, prompting Adam to suddenly break the taboo of talking to strangers on a train, and invite the whole carriage to form their own Christmas party…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This feel-good Christmas story brings together a collection of colourful train passengers – among them Timothy Spall, Joanna Scanlan and Ben Miller – through the power of the festive season.
