A PR consultant and a museum education office are trapped in an overturned railway carriage following a rail crash, waiting tensely to be rescued. A touching relationship begins to develop between them as they amuse each other, annoy each other, tell stories, jokes and secrets, sing songs and play word games. Just as rescue seems likely they are torn apart by tragedy. One act play, winner of 1995 George Taylor Memorial Award. Originally performed by Flat Four as Close to Clapham the name was changed on publication to avoid causing any distress to people involved in the Clapham rail disaster.
