Hywel and Rhian find themselves on a decaying Victorian station platform that feels disturbingly familiar. As ivy creeps over broken glass and an unseen clock ticks steadily on, a well-dressed stranger arrives carrying a collection of hatboxes.

What begins as uneasy observation turns grotesque when the contents of the boxes are revealed — not luggage, but something being carefully assembled piece by piece. As the station hums with recognition and memory, Hywel is forced to confront the possibility that this place, and what happens here, is tied far more closely to him than he wants to admit.

Opening Series Two, The Hatbox Killer pushes Anoraks deeper into psychological horror, blurring the line between witness and participant, and suggesting that some routines don’t just repeat — they remember.

Hywel and Rhian find themselves inside a grimy left luggage office, where padlocked lockers hum with moisture, whispers, and things that should not be stored. As abandoned suitcases reveal their contents — live eels, murmuring voices, and something alive and frightened — the line between object and occupant begins to blur.

While Hywel panics at what might be happening just out of sight, Rhian offers a colder interpretation: perhaps nothing here is forgotten at all. Perhaps everything is simply waiting to be claimed. As the lockers fall silent once more, the real question remains — are Hywel and Rhian observers… or just another pair of items left behind?

On an unnervingly still evening, Hywel and Rhian return to the platform one last time. When a handwritten timetable is discovered on the bench — listing every train, every incident, and finally two observers — Hywel realises that what they’ve been witnessing may never have been random at all.

As a train arrives that shouldn’t exist, the truth begins to surface: this platform is not just a place they visit, but one they may never have left. With Rhian’s calm finally taking on a more troubling meaning, The Timetable brings Anoraks to an unsettling close, asking whether Hywel and Rhian are witnesses, participants… or something left behind.

Anoraks is a short-form audio micro-series, with each episode unfolding in real time over just a few minutes — darkly comic, atmospheric stories where waiting becomes eternal, and the line between observer and occupant quietly disappears.

Under a heavy sky, Hywel and Rhian arrive to find the platform watched over by an ever-growing flock of crows — silent at first, then deafening. Nearby, a rusted freight car sits abandoned on a siding, its doors sealed tight. When strange noises begin to echo from inside, the question of whether someone needs help — or wants it — becomes dangerously unclear.

As the crows gather and whispers ride the wind, Hywel’s faith in coincidence finally starts to crack. Rhian, as ever, remains unsettlingly amused. By the time the platform is overwhelmed by wings and noise, it’s clear the station isn’t just hosting these events anymore — it’s orchestrating them.

Anoraks is a short-form audio micro-series, with each episode unfolding in real time over just a few minutes — darkly comic, atmospheric stories where ordinary waiting places become complicit, and observation itself carries a cost.

While waiting out the wind on the familiar rural platform, Hywel and Rhian pass the time with tea, biscuits, and idle speculation about the contents of a stranger’s handbag. When an abandoned bag is discovered on the concrete, curiosity gets the better of them — revealing something far more disturbing than loose change or forgotten lipstick.

As heavy footsteps approach and a polite stranger comes looking for what’s been lost, the line between observer and accomplice begins to blur. By the time the platform falls quiet again, Hywel is left wondering whether some things are safer unseen… and untouched.

As dusk settles and mist curls across the trackbed, Hywel and Rhian notice something new on the platform: a derelict signal box, long abandoned, now glowing faintly from within. What should be silent and dead begins to hum, creak, and call out — as if the station itself has woken up.

While Rhian treats the disturbance with her usual unnerving calm, Hywel can no longer ignore the feeling that this place is watching them back. When the light abruptly cuts out, leaving only wind and silence, the question becomes harder to avoid: why do they keep returning… and what, exactly, is observing whom?

Anoraks is a short-form audio micro-series, with each episode unfolding in real time over just a few minutes — darkly comic, atmospheric stories where familiar waiting places turn sentient, and routine becomes something quietly menacing.

On a remote rural train platform at dusk, Hywel and Rhian wait for a chronically late service, passing the time with tea, biscuits, and familiar complaints about slipping standards. As mist rolls in and the wind picks up, their routine is interrupted by the arrival of a solitary woman in a red coat carrying a spade.

What begins as mild curiosity turns quietly horrifying when the woman starts digging on the trackbed — and buries something that was never meant to be found. Faced with the unthinkable, Hywel and Rhian must decide whether to intervene, report what they’ve seen… or do what most people do best: look the other way.

Returning to the same isolated rural station, Hywel and Rhian shelter from the drizzle, trading ghost stories and tea as tannoy announcements crackle and fade. When a breathless man sprints onto the platform clutching a kitchen knife, it briefly looks like the quiet routine has finally tipped into chaos.

But chaos, it turns out, has rules. As a second figure arrives — slower, heavier, and far more prepared — Hywel and Rhian find themselves witnesses once again, calmly observing violence they have no intention of stopping. By the time the rain settles and the next train roars through, the platform is empty, clean… and deeply wrong.
