The three reach the train, only to find him abandoned and ravaged. They once again leave, worried about the fate of the passengers, and come across [[The Master's aliases|Keith Potter]], a trainspotter. He tells them that he saw the railways growing in number as he observed, and joins them in their search for the train. The four of them see a train very similar to the one they left, to the point of having on board Tim's travelling companions, who leads them to the conclusion they must have found another train, of a similar model. | The three reach the train, only to find him abandoned and ravaged.

[[Norman]], the controller, does not allow anyone to leave, and [[Hilary Ratchett|Hilary]], one of the passengers, says she found another of her companions, Dave, dead outside the train. The Doctor suggests they check on the driver, but when he, Tim and Constance do, they found he is missing and the windows of the drive cabin are smashed. As they report this to the passengers, a man knocks on the door of the train, asking to come in: to everyone's amazement, everyone recognises him as Dave, the passenge Hilary found dead. The Doctor insists they open the door, but Norman and the other passengers stop him from doing so, leaving Dave to die at the hands of something out there. | ||
The Doctor reproaches them, but Norman manages to turn all the passengers against him and Constance; they move to lock them into the bathroom, but when they open the door, they found | The Doctor reproaches them, but Norman manages to turn all the passengers against him and Constance; they move to lock them into the bathroom, but when they open the door, they found Dave's body in there. The discovery allows the Doctor time to think, and gather there must have been three Daves, all of them dead; he also stars suspecting about Hilary, the only passenger not to have an alibi, the only witness to see the body and the one with blood stains on their dress. Under pressure, Hilary confesses she killed Dave out of resentment and anger for her failures in life. She herself, however, is horrified at the thought; when Tim tries to calm her down, she hits him with some force, leaving him bruised but alive. | ||
Hilary leaves the train together with Keith, who promises to take her to the station. When they are out, though, Tim stops her and "induces" her to tell her what really happened: there were voices, Hilary says, exploiting her frustration, driving her towards the killing. Satisfied, Keith breaks the contact and leaves her to die at the hands of their misterious assailants. | Hilary leaves the train together with Keith, who promises to take her to the station.
