ONE JOURNEY THAT WILL CHANGE THE LIVES OF MANY FOREVER…
1951: the 8.45 from Bristol to Paddington is preparing to leave.
Albert, the driver – whose father and grandfather before him worked on the railway – says goodbye to his wife with mixed feelings. Their seeming inability to have a child has overshadowed their happy marriage.
Jenny, clumsy but loveable, longs to make a success of her job in the restaurant car, where she attracts the interest of Marvin, the steward.
The passengers – some regulars on the line, others making a rare visit to London – settle down for the journey. Some talk and get to know each other, some while away the journey working or sleeping.
But as they near their destination, disaster strikes…
