To celebrate the arrival of the Railway 200 Inspiration train at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Heritage Railway (Scottish Railway Preservation Society), we invite you to take a cinematic trip to the Hippodrome for a special screening of this iconic British melodrama.

Turbulent passion and middle-class restraint combine when a married woman falls for a doctor she meets at a railway station.  Set against the rhythmic backdrop of steam trains and station platforms, David Lean’s classic captures fleeting love with haunting elegance. Trains aren’t just scenery—they are silent witnesses to passion, duty, and desire. 

This screening is delivered in partnership with the BFI and supported by Film Hub Scotland, BFI Film Audience Network and programmed in partnership with SRPS and Railway 200.  https://railway200.co.uk/inspiration/
