Train Man
It`s never too late to get back on track.Michael is a broken man. He`s waiting for the 09.46 to Gloucester, so as to reach Crewe for 11.22: the platforms are long at Crewe, and he can walk easily into the path of a high-speed train to London. He`s planned it all: a net of tangerines (for when the refreshments trolley is cancelled), and a juice carton, full of neat whisky. To make identification swift, he has taped his last credit card to the inside of his shoe.What Michael hasn`t factored in is a twelve-minute delay, which risks him missing his connection, and making new ones. He longs to silence the voices in his own head: ex-girlfriends, colleagues, and the memories from his schooldays, decades old. They all torment him. What Michael needs is somebody to listen.A last, lonely journey becomes a lesson in the power of human connection, proving that no matter how bad things seem, it`s never too late to get back on track. Journeys intersect. People find hope when and where they least expect it. A missed connection needn`t be a disaster: it could just save your life.
