A “gripping” psychological thriller will be launching on ITV today (August 26), starring Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson.
Platform 7 is an adaption of Louise Doughty’s globally renowned bestselling novel of the same name by screenwriter Paula Milne.
The series which first premiered on ITVX last year is a haunting thriller following central character Lisa who, after witnessing a cataclysmic event on platform 7 at Peterborough station, finds her own fragmented memory jogged to reveal a connection between her own life and that of the event she has just witnessed.
Supernatural elements combine with contemporary realism in this chilling drama.

How many episodes of Platform 7 are there?
In total, there are four 60-minute episodes of Platform 7.
Speaking about why Doughty chose to base the story at Peterborough station, she explained to iNews: “I used to have a standing joke that if I had been bad and died and went to purgatory, I would find myself trapped on Peterborough railway station on a freezing November night.
“That’s where the idea- came from: a railway station as a metaphor for purgatory, and a young woman who has died there in mysterious circumstances and is trapped there until the mystery of her death is solved.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
