Steve, Ever since all the talk of Carnforth station, "Brief Encounter" and your comment that the film was based on a play, it has been driving me batty trying to remember the title of said play. Yes, the play I believe did come first, though both were written by Noel Coward. Anyway, I checked tonight and it was "Still Life"; centred more on the station tea-rooms than the film. A lovely radio version of it was made some years ago. Take care, Elaine
