Riddleton station was scheduled to open on the 8th July 1964. Special tickets for its first train had been sent out, but before they could be used, the station was closed. Luke’s great grandfather, who was to have been its Station Master, had been allocated two tickets, which he kept in a safe place. So safe that no one could find them. As the years passed, it was said that every 8th July these would allow you a seat on the steam train. If Luke is ever to ride on his great grandfather’s train, then he must find his lost tickets.
