[officer] Are you okay sir?

Yeah. I always look like this.

Are you travelling with us madam?

- No. - I'm gonna need some details

Nah. Should be good to go now sir.

Aye. The things people do for an upgrade.

[passengers applaud quietly]

[announcer speaking on Tannoy]

- With our compliments sir. - Thank you.

I thought it was gonna be one of those nights.

[whistle blows]

[tense music plays]

[train doors beeping]

[suspenseful music]

[speaking inaudibly]

[car engine starts]

Did they do it?

[rapid beeping sound]

Driver.

Driver?

Driver?!

[button beeping]

Andy.

Can you hear me Andy? Stop the train!

[beeping]

[theme music playing]

[announcer on Tannoy] Attention passengers

for flight 0711 to Marrakech.

This flight is now delayed until 4:25 am.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

[woman] Ugh.

Half-four?

- [phone ringing] - Oh shit.

It was meant to be on silent.

No it's meant to be off.

Oh.

No Abs.

Yes the lasagne is still edible Tobi.

- And yes you can have it. - It's not about the lasagne.

[Tobi's friend] You've got lasagne?

Er are you up to no good?

Yeah not anymore.

I said to only call me in an emergency.

I know.

[foreboding music plays]

[phone rings]

Oh shit.

It's Abby.

[sighs]

So one of the UK's biggest antivirus firms has a virus?

[scoffs] Couldn't write it could you?

Yeah thanks Tobi. Thank you very much.

Note to self. Never confide in Roger the Lodger.

And that antivirus is used by

what hundreds of thousands

of devices all over the country?

[Tobi] Million-plus actually. Critical infrastructure.

Thousands of companies. Lots of big ones.

Any suggestion on a specific target?

- Not yet. - Guys listen.

It's probably some kid

who's trying to make a name for himself okay?

And if it isn't?

[Saj] Can you just leave it to us alright?

- [Meg] Hiya! - [clerk] Next please.

Sorry change of plan.

Sorry.

Tobi meet me at reception at quarter 2:00.

Saj put it in the sandbox check the IOAs

and set up the instant room. I am on my way.

Can I have a word?

In private.

Sorry. I'll be right back.

[beeping sound]

So it's not gonna... detonate or anything is it?

- When were you last in here? - Just before we set off.

- Before we were meant to. - So what's that?

Like five minutes before we actually left?

More like ten. Everything was exactly as it should be then.

[Lindsey] Excuse me?

Sorry could you just give us a minute please?

Sorry it's my son.

I said he could go to the lounge to get a drink

but he hasn't come back and he's not in there.

He was definitely on board when we set off?

Yeah. He was with me in our cabin

'til we started to move C4.

Do you think you could make an announcement or something?

His name's Max. We call him Mouse.

We're having a few problems

with the communication system at the moment.

He's not been past this way though.

Must've gone the other way.

Have you checked the rear three carriages?

You make a start I'll send a colleague to help.

- Who else has access? - No one.

And your line to the drivers never failed before?

No. Can't call him can't access the locomotive

when we're moving to tell him can't contact the ROC.

ROC?

It's the Scotland Rail Operating Centre

based out of Cowlairs.

Can't just use your mobile?

If I had any coverage.

Is it always like this?

No we might lose it for a few seconds

but there's been nothing for minutes.

Okay. So when I was chasing those lads through the train

and you and everyone else was out on the platform

do you think someone could've come here and done this?

I know they bloody did.

Just look at this. [tapping keys]

They've deleted the CCTV too.

How long 'til the next station?

Well it's Motherwell.

We lost our slot

could be anything up to 20 minutes.

I'm not waiting that long.

Hey guys. Hey. Sorry to bother you.

We need to make a call.

We're having trouble with our phones.

Just wondering if any of you have any signal

if you could just check.

[passengers murmuring]

I haven't had anything since I got on or Wi-Fi.

What's going on?

We just need to make a call.

It's er... Anyone?

Okay thank you.

Billy. Lady in car C's lost her kid.

Can you go and help her?

Hey guys sorry to bother you.

Has anyone got any phone coverage?

No. If I don't send an email in the next half hour

I won't have a job either.

[Sophie] Is it always like this?

No chance.

They love to cough up for technology.

It's the cost of people they resent.

Thanks a lot.

Actually seems like I have.

You got coverage?

I work up at Finnis Brae the oil rig.

This is satellite.

[train doors beeping]

[announcement over Tannoy]

Yeah and run a CI check.

- [laughter] - If er...

[women laughing]

If any critical infrastructure is compromised by this...

we need to hear about it.

Yes some critical infrastructure uses it okay.

Of course it does but...

Tobi should not have called you okay Abby?

We can handle this alright?

We have a more than capable team here.

So just switch off and get on that plane.

And enjoy your freedom.

- Come on. Yeah come on. - [Meg] What?

Marrakesh awaits.

[Saj] Great. Okay it's the right call.

So just check your phone when you land and...

if there's anything-- anything else at all alright

I will contact you. So don't worry.

- Saj? - Yeah?

A guy on the other line just called General with an urgent.

If Abby's still available

I think she really needs to take this.

[Abby] Leon is that you?

Yeah patch them through.

[phone beeping]

Hello this is Abigail Aysgarth

Acting Technical Director

at the National Cyber Security Centre.

[train announcer] This train's ready to depart

mind the closing doors.

Mind the closing doors please.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Hello yes. Hello.

I'm on a train called the Heart of Britain.

It's the Glasgow to London nightsleeper service.

We're currently between Glasgow and Motherwell

and I think we may have a problem.

[rapid beeping]

- Erm... - Oh! Abs--

Wait wait wait wait. Two secs.

Sorry who am I speaking with?

He's a DI in the Met.

This is Ian Crieff train manager

we're on the Nine Alpha 272.

Okay okay. So...

Yeah so someone's ripped up the floor in this guy's office.

The line to the driver's down

and the emergency stop has failed.

- What? - Yeah.

And er the wiring in the floor's been tampered with.

And there's a device attached.

And there's no mobile phone coverage.

- Not on any network. - [Abby] Give me one second.

[phone beeping]

Saj?

The critical infrastructure that uses the antivirus...

Yeah.

It's not the UK rail network is it?

How did you know?

[tense music builds]

Hello?

Hello?

Hi hi sorry.

I was just talking to a colleague.

Er what did you say your name was?

Does it matter?

So how did you know to call us?

I've done a couple of training days at your place.

Really regretting zoning out now.

And erm if there are no phones working on there

then how are we talking?

This is satellite.

Where are you on the roof?

The aerials are.

There's repeaters throughout.

Right so what sort of device is it?

It's small. There are two aerials on top

a USB on the side and numbers rolling across the screen.

Like credit card small or smartphone small?

[Joe] Credit card small.

Okay that's an SBC.

Er a...?

A single board computer.

Is it an explosive device?

No it's-- it's a hacking device.

For what?

Okay give me one more minute.

Hey. Give me that. Sorry just...

Come on and your phone. I need another line.

[tense music plays]

[beeping]

[line ringing]

Saj the Heart of Britain sleeper service

may have been hacked.

What?

The train is approaching Motherwell.

It's due to stop there

and I'm praying that that's still gonna be the case.

If it does we need to get a police team

and a cyber team onboard.

We need to get everyone off immediately

and hold it there until further notice.

And can you see if there are any other problems

with any other trains around the country?

Yeah. Already typing.

I think I could unplug this. I think I can disconnect it.

No no wait! No don't!

Well it looks simple enough.

Sorry how tech-y are you?

Honestly? Paid a guy to set up my broadband.

Yeah don't touch it. Don't go anywhere near it.

That's what he said.

Look it'll already be in the system anyway.

And it could even be trip-wired.

- Meaning? - Well...

It could cause it to accelerate so fast that it derails and...

Listen when you stop at Motherwell

we're gonna have police there waiting.

What if it doesn't?

- [Abby] Doesn't...? - Stop.

Look we just need to get everybody off.

How the fuck is this happening?

Hey it's alright. It's okay.

It really doesn't sound okay.

No no. I don't suppose it does.

But...

I'm all for the buts but...

I'm here.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm here.

[loud pop music playing]

Can you ask them to turn it down?

You used to be fun.

No I didn't.

No actually. No you didn't.

Er girls. You're gonna have to turn that up.

[women scream]

Do you-- Do you know how long this is gonna take?

It's just that I'm waiting

on quite an important phone call. So--

I'm going as quick as I can yeah?

Doing my best.

Thank you.

There's something else bothering me.

[women shouting]

Yeah yeah there's quite a bit bothering me.

Before we left the station

there was an incident on the platform.

A lad stole a bag.

Right okay.

Another guy helped and I got it back.

Transport police went after 'em

but it delayed us a few minutes.

Eight. Eight minutes

but the office was unguarded for ten.

It must've happened then.

Either that was a real stroke of good luck

for some other person loitering

on the platform or...

This involves multiple people and is pre-planned

as part of a major operation.

That's where I'm at.

Oh God.

It's alright. I'm here too.

[phone buzzing]

- Hey! Hey! - [Abby] Pev?

Can you...

What?

- Can you hear me? - What?

I can't hear you!

[tense music plays]

How long is this gonna go on for?

I have to send an... email.

What's that?

[Joe] That's what we're trying to work out.

- Are you qualified for that? - Absolutely not.

So who have you been speaking to?

The National Cyber Security Centre.

What-- What are you doing?

I'm Rachel Li I'm a lifestyle trends reporter.

[Rachel] Suit yourself.

Sending a different story now.

Hey w-wait...

Look don't take this the wrong way

but next time I'm getting the Megabus.

[Joe] Abby can you hear me?

- [loud pop music playing] - Hello?

Hello yes I'm here. Can you hear me?

Yeah. Erm I lost you for a minute then...

I'm... I'm on a train as well.

I thought you were in Victoria.

[Abby] Yeah heading there.

I'm erm...

I was at the airport actually.

Ah it's alright.

I'm not that keen on planes anyway.

Yeah I'm starting to go off trains.

Though to be fair the atmosphere on yours

does sound significantly better than mine.

Yeah well this is a bit of a banger innit?

[laughing]

Abby the DG.

[line ringing]

Erm yeah. Can you hold on for me a minute?

Holding on Abby. Holding on.

[line ringing]

Well the side effect of this happening

within two hours of my Mansion House speech

is that I appear to be more dressed

for the occasion than you.

Ma'am.

There are no reports of problems

with any other trains.

Not at the moment.

We have managed to get through to Cowlairs

and UK Rail's Gold Command is assembling as we speak

but the Transport Secretary's remaining elusive.

Seems she sleeps more deeply than the rest of us.

After recent headlines I'm not sure how.

And who is going to have operational control?

Security Police Scotland and the BTP

are all claiming it but the decision has been made.

You are.

This is why we exist Abby

and tonight's either the night former technical directors

get a call begging them to come back

or acting technical directors lose the 'acting' for good.

- You mean it? - On one condition.

Do not under any circumstances

call Paul Peveril.

Okay. Erm...

Erm ma'am no one's managed to get through to the driver

but the police are now on the scene

and the train does appear to be slowing

on its approach to Motherwell.

So they think it's gonna stop as planned.

Okay.

So we may actually be in control.

[chuckling] Er not quite.

We've got those facial recs back from Glasgow Central.

Seems there's currently an Interpol Red

out for someone on that train.

What?

[Tobi] Police have already been informed.

They disappeared whilst released on investigation

end of last year.

We're looking at a picture of them now.

[Joe] Abby the train is stopping. Thank God.

- What do you want me to do? - Yeah listen.

There's somebody on your train who should not be approached.

Yeah my colleague's just sending through

a description of them now.

[tense music]

White male.

Around 35 years of age.

Facial hair.

Nothing to do with me.

I promise.

[message chiming]

Wearing a red and black checked jacket.

What are the chances?

Come on that's ridiculous.

[intense music plays]

[man] Hey! Get back here.

[Saj] Wanna know the craziest thing?

He actually used to be a DI in the Met.

Sorry sorry. Thank you sir.

I poured you a glass of wine

but you took so long I drank it.

[police sirens wailing]

[officer] Right you guard the platform.

You two watch the back doors.

Make sure everyone gets off the front.

[indistinct murmuring and chatter]

Is that him?

Now keep every door locked bar this one.

I'm gonna need everyone out onto the platform please.

That's everyone out

via the front doors of Carriage A only.

Right ladies and gentlemen you heard the man.

Onto the platform quick as you can please.

That includes whoever's in there.

[man on phone] Hello?

Can I get a cab for Motherwell Station please?

- [man] Motherwell Station? - [police radio chatter]

About 20 minutes?

Is that okay?

H-Hello?

Is that okay?

[knocking on door]

[Billy] We're going to need you to get off please.

You need to use the door at the far end

of the front carriage.

Right they're at Motherwell.

Police Scotland officers are present

and engineer's a couple of minutes away.

Okay.

Er but there are now reports coming in

of signalling problems in quite a lot of places.

The rail network's in meltdown.

Are you still moving Abby?

Yes.

Yes ma'am.

I'll be there shortly.

Where's Draycott?

We have what appears to be coordinated attacks

on completely separate systems.

We need to speak to the minister.

Erm we have located her. She's on a train too.

[Abby] Well get her off it.

We would but she seems to be out of coverage.

Hang on the Transport Secretary

is on a train?

Yeah apparently.

She's out of coverage?

Yeah.

Do we know what train it is?

[knocking on door]

Yes?

[Billy] We're going to need you to get off please.

There's a problem with the train.

Leave via the front door of Carriage A.

Assemble on the platform.

Thank you.

There's no way I'm going out there.

One picture of me stuck on a platform

in the middle of nowhere next to an unreliable train

and I'm viral again.

Let me see what I can do.

[tense music plays]

[indistinct murmuring and chatter]

[police radio chatter]

[grunting]

Oh Jesus Christ!

Ow!

[video game sounds]

[train powering down]

If you could just leave your luggage

and follow me please?

Will we be able to get back on?

I don't know but if you could please just--

Can you please do your job and find out?

Do we need to empty our cabins?

Er no. No but if you could please just...

My father-in-law has got important medication in there.

My dad's not really well enough to be on here

but he used to drive this train.

I think you can make an exception.

Look I'm sorry.

We can't put him out in the cold.

Ignore them they don't know

what they're talking about. I'm fine.

- Please please. - Would you get off me?

I don't need your hand or anybody else's hand

permanently attached to my elbow!

Look he is gonna have to get off.

I'm gonna need to speak to the train manager then.

This is ridiculous.

Do you want us to go down there?

Erm yes yes.

Well you're gonna have to remove the kitchen

and half the chairs

'cos that carriage isn't accessible.

Erm... Yeah.

I'll get off

only when there's another train to get onto.

[Abby] Come on come on.

Ian fella says there's a problem with the comms.

Did you not think it was strange

no one had spoken to you since Glasgow?

Excuse me.

Could you just keep moving please? Thank you.

I couldn't get through to you.

Cowlairs couldn't get through to either of us.

It's about my dad.

I don't care if it's about my dad. Off!

Ian you need to open door five.

No one only!

There's a woman in a wheelchair.

I've spoken to them twice.

What?

Cowlairs.

No you haven't!

I've spoken to somebody.

Our father is not well enough to--

Everybody's leaving!

You don't understand!

Hey come on.

Sorry sorry sorry.

Turn around! Don't resist!

I said I'm sorry! It was an accident!

Come on.

Please have you seen my boy?

I have to stay on the train. My dad's not well.

I need to stay on the train.

Any good on that?

What's your favourite course?

Mine's... Mine's the water park.

Mine too.

[Billy] Excuse me. Er everybody off

via Carriage A please.

Please leave your luggage where it is

and make your way to the front of the train.

Delay compensation is available on the Heart of Britain website.

Thank you.

You need to leave the train sir.

I have to get my phone.

- Leave that to us. - I really need it back.

Excuse me madam. Excuse me madam.

Can you just leave your luggage where it is?

Could you please make your way to the front of the train?

Thank you very much.

[tense music building]

Hey.

I think we've been looking for you.

Anyone else in there?

Make your way along.

Your mum's waiting for you on the platform.

Go up to the front of the train.

Just let me get my console.

[police on radio] Urgent assistance

needed on platform.

[Kyle] Wait it was an accident!

[sirens wailing]

[Rachel] Come on.

Is this absolutely necessary?

I'm afraid it is madam.

[Yas] Ian the wheelchair.

Where are you going?

To get my things.

Get right back from that door.

But you have to open an accessible door!

You see this is a very delicate situation.

What is?

For the Minister for Transport.

Twitter is not her friend.

[Yas] Ian.

Get the ramp.

- Excuse me are you the husband? - Yep.

[Ian] My colleague's getting a ramp for your wife.

We will open another door for her.

[machine beeping]

Right you need to get off mate.

So do you.

Right come on then.

Why's it not opening?

I dunno.

[machine beeping]

[train powering up]

[train engine starts]

[banging on door]

Hey. I said to keep the doors closed.

- [Mouse] Was that you? - No.

Mouse!

[machine beeping]

- Mouse! - Mum!

Mum!

- Open it. - [Joe] I'm trying.

It's not opening.

- I'll be right back. - She's getting the ramp.

- Mum! - [buzzing]

[passengers clamouring]

Mum!

- No! - Mouse.

[Mouse] Mum!

- [Lindsey] Stop the train. - Yes I'm--

[Mouse] Mum!

[Joe] Hold on!

Mum.

[Joe] Move!

Get behind!

Mum!

- Mouse! - Mum!

Andy!

[music intensifies]

Hey. Hey!

[Lindsey] Mouse!

Move.

[beeping]

No! No Mum!

Mouse!

[Lindsey crying]

[calm music]

Where is everyone?

[Abby] Well?

Saj I'm off the Gatwick Express.

Give me an update.

Saj?

They're saying it's left the station again

with some passengers still onboard.

What?

But without the driver.

Any driver.

- [phone ringing] - Abs.

Abs we have a hostage situation.

What is this?

I have no idea

but every train across the country stops right now.

[Meg] Abs.

- Abby? - What?

Look.

[announcer on Tannoy] Passengers are reminded that

my name is... The Driver.

[announcer on Tannoy 2] Passengers are reminded that

tonight I am in control.

[announcer on Tannoy] Passengers are reminded that...

[phone ringing]

It's Joe.

My name it's Joe

and I'll help you.

I will but you're gonna have to help me too.

Why would I possibly do that?

I mean how can I trust you?

[announcement] Tonight I am in control.

What else you got?
