The Titfield Thunderbolt by Philip Goulding
12 to 17 May 2025
Evenings at 7:45pm.
2:30pm matinee on Saturday 17 May.
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 – with a train resurrected from a local museum! 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. All aboard for a rollicking evening of hilarious nostalgia!
Saturday Box Office at the Green Room: 11am to 12 noon – 19, 26 April and 3, 10 May.
