The Spectral Express

Penistone Line Partnership and SYMCA asked Grimm & Co to help them celebrate Railway 200 with something different!

A massive thank you, to the young people attending Grimm & Co’s Saturday Club who learned a new skill during this project. Podcasting! – Fast-paced, think on your feet, ad-hoc and sometimes hilarious. Episodes start with introductions of the ghoulish characters using the Penistone Line, then the pace picks up with a discussion on folklore or fiction. Oh, and can you spot the subtle reference to a funder? (Super Yeti Magical Curling Association!) Who has the best walking trail near the Penistone Line, who is the imposter, and what an earth have baked beans got to do with trains?

Thank you to everyone involved in helping Penistone Line Partnership, SYMCA, Community Rail Network, CrossCountry, and EMR celebrate 200 years of passenger travel in the UK during Railway 200.
