How many episodes of Platform 7 are there?

In total, there are four 60-minute episodes of Platform 7.

Speaking about why Doughty chose to base the story at Peterborough station, she explained to iNews: “I used to have a standing joke that if I had been bad and died and went to purgatory, I would find myself trapped on Peterborough railway station on a freezing November night.

“That’s where the idea- came from: a railway station as a metaphor for purgatory, and a young woman who has died there in mysterious circumstances and is trapped there until the mystery of her death is solved.”
