To celebrate the arrival of the Railway 200 Inspiration train at the Bo’ness and Kinneil Heritage Railway (Scottish Railway Preservation Society), take a cinematic trip to the historic Hippodrome Bo’ness for a special screening of the iconic British melodrama: ‘Brief Encounter’ (1945).
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 special screening honours our railway heritage in style.
Passengers who have booked their Railway 200 Inspiration train carriage experience at Bo’ness (13 or 14 Oct) will receive 20% off their ‘Brief Encounter’ cinema ticket (12 or 13 Oct) — just quote RAILWAY200 when booking, and show your train booking at the box office when you arrive.
Step on board for movie magic where every whistle signals the pull of the heart.
