Friday Evenings 25th April 2008, 29th August 2008, 31st October 2008
The year is 1925. Loughborough’s new mayor – Mr Meaner, arrives to open the new platform when he is …….murdered. Anyone trying to leave the platform would have been spotted – so the murderer must have boarded to 7.00pm Express! But whodunit?
Was it the local French teacher Fleur Timere? Or the parish priest Father O’Dere? Does the affable train driver Bernie Cole have something to hide? With the circus in town, why does the ventriloquist have nothing to say? And why couldn’t the psychic see it coming?
The murderer will escape justice if you don’t work out ‘whodunit’ before 10.45pm, when the train returns to Loughborough.
Served aboard our 7:30 pm departure from Loughborough selected Fridays. Please arrive at Loughborough for 7:00pm
