A Train to Woking is a dramatic comedy exploring the 19th-century London Necropolis Railway (LNR) and the final journey of its deceased passengers from Waterloo to Brookwood.

It?s the 19th century and London is plagued with disease. The overcrowded graveyards are unable to accommodate the rate of fatality and the city needs a solution. As a means of response, the deceased must be transported out of the city and to their final resting place. All aboard ?A Train to Woking.
