Blood On The Tracks / The Murder of Janet Maddocks

He was alarmed by the long trail of blood in the aisle. It reached at least twelve feet long. In the artificial light of the carriage, it almost looked black. As the train pulled away, with no emergency stop signal or no way of contacting the driver, it was twenty minutes before it ground to a halt at the next station. A second passenger boarded the carriage. In a state of shock, the two strangers conversed, deciding what to do at the next stop. Whoever had lost such a great deal of blood was severely injured or possibly dead, but there was no sign of them on the train. *** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Rosanna Fitton. Illustrations and production direction also by Rosanna Fitton.
