Synopsis

An episode in the BBC's annual A Ghost Story for Christmas strand. In an isolated railway cutting, a traveler meets and befriends a lonely signalman who has a strange tale to tell. He is being haunted by a mysterious figure that lurks in the mouth of a rail tunnel, warning him of impending tragedy. He has appeared twice before and both occasions, the signalman witnessed terrible accidents - a train crash and a young bride falling from a speeding carriage. Now the figure has returned and the signalman fears that something terrible is about to happen...
