The Last Train

S01E02: Episode 2

The survivors explore the ruins of Sheffield city centre in a search for friends and family, but find no survivors. The group desperately needs to find a supply of fresh water, and Harriet leads them to the bunker, and possible salvation. They are confronted by evidence of fellow survivors, but it is of an unwelcome nature.

Overview

The Last Train is a British six-part post-apocalyptic television drama serial first broadcast on the ITV network in 1999. It has since been repeated on ITV2 in 1999/2001 and on numerous occasions on the UK Sci-Fi Channel. The serial was written by Matthew Graham and produced for ITV by Granada Television.

In the United States, the Fox Network purchased the rights to produce a new version of the series soon after its original UK transmission. Retitled The Ark, the idea did not progress beyond the pilot stage.

As of May 2013, the series has not been released on DVD or any other format, and has never aired in the US.
