With a shrill whistle the Night Train is off, delivering its passengers to children’s dreams. The yeti, the ballet dancer, the friendly monster and the princess all have starring roles.
Then the train comes to an unexpected halt. A tree has fallen across the track and there’s no way the guard can move it on his own.
It’s a race against time and the passengers will need to use all their talents to get the train moving again. Can they reach their dreams before midnight?
