The Wrong Platform

Returning to the same isolated rural station, Hywel and Rhian shelter from the drizzle, trading ghost stories and tea as tannoy announcements crackle and fade. When a breathless man sprints onto the platform clutching a kitchen knife, it briefly looks like the quiet routine has finally tipped into chaos.

But chaos, it turns out, has rules. As a second figure arrives — slower, heavier, and far more prepared — Hywel and Rhian find themselves witnesses once again, calmly observing violence they have no intention of stopping. By the time the rain settles and the next train roars through, the platform is empty, clean… and deeply wrong.

Anoraks is a short-form audio micro-series, with each episode unfolding in real time over just a few minutes — intimate, darkly comic stories where ordinary waiting places become stages for something quietly horrific.


Weekly episodes. Saturdays, 8pm (UK)
