  • #217 A Spooky Special (1st Nov 2020)

    This week it's the 2nd of The Night Train's Halloween wing-ding shin-dig spookerama fun-fest. Steve goes first with a bunch of songs that are halloween adjacent before a twanging rockabilly set of songs that are 3 minutes max. After that it's over to Paul for a mix of horror-core hop hop, unsettling songs and eerie beats.

  • #216 Paul plays records, Steve does not. (25th Oct 2020)

    It's time for Paul to play some records, so that's what he did for hour one. There was an anniversary cut, the birth of a new (mini) feature and a Bunny Lee tribute set.

    Hour two is a completely different affair. Steve was sure that it was a cohesive hour. Think of it a bit like translating a paragraph from French to English a word at a time only using a dictionary. While it each word may make sense, when viewed as a whole piece it's a nonsense. Enjoy!

  • #215 Bunny Lee Tribute Show (18th Oct 2020)

    We were saddened to hear that at the start of October, the great producer Bunny "Striker" Lee passed. As fans of reggae, it felt only right to put together a tribute show as only TNT knows how! Patchy information, paraphrased articles, half truths and a mention of the classic Bunny Lee video.

  • #67 The 1967 Special (13th April 2017)

    Last night, nobody noticed that we didn't manage to get a new show out on Sheffield Live. It's ok, we all know that we only make the show for ourselves.


    Anyway, people will notice the listen again is lacking hot new content so we're uploading this "classic" episode from the archives.

    So here we are, a return to another audacious Night Train special. To celebrate our 67th show we picked (and had suggested) songs that were released in 1967.

    There are plenty of songs and artists that you know and love in this show with only a few musical curve-balls.

    Kick back, relax and enjoy the sounds of year that saw the 1st ever Superbowl and the end of Pirate Radio on the high seas!

    Don't forget, if you're up late at night... listen live to us every Thursday 11pm-1am on SheffieldLive! 93.2FM, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org

  • #214 (4th Oct 2020)

    Hot off the press, it's another barnstorming edition of The Night Train! This week, we casually mention Kid A, tell tales of hash-cakes and enjoy the heavenless riddim.

  • #213 (27th Sep 2020)

    This week, despite it being a normal show there is a lot of listener homework as we reference a lot of things you "need" to check out.

    Paul is on hour one and Steve is on hour two, this time he's resisted the temptation to play "miserable music" (as one listener calls it) so the show finishes on an upswing!

  • #212 Steve is sombre & Paul plays records (20th Sep 2020)

    This week it's all go at TNT Towers. Steve has had a laptop emergency and Paul is doing another all vinyl special. OK, when it's typed out it doesn't seem that exciting. Oh well....


    Hour one is (somewhat) sombre as Steve plays some melancholic sounds to sooth the soul. Hour two is a journey through the grooves with Paul!


    Press play to find out why they're doing what they're doing and hear some great music at the same time!

    This upload is a day late and a dollar short. As such, there won't be a witty spiel about what we did on the show. Just press play and enjoy what we managed to produce.


    We promise, next weeks upload will be full of beans.

  • #210 (6th Sep 2020)

    This week was a bit of an anomaly... neither of us knew what the other one picked for each hour. It's not that we plan the show (can you tell?), just give each other heads-up on what we're playing. Not sure that's happened since way back in March. Luckily, we didn't both pick the same songs to play. Even better, we both enjoyed each others hour.

  • #209 Live Vinyl & Quiet Music (30th Aug 2020)

    This week in community radio... we mixed it up again! For no reason and completely unplanned, we both decided to do a bit of a theme hour.


    Hour one sees Paul dig into his extensive record collection to give an airing to the purchases he's managed to sneak past his better half.

    Hour two is a much more low-key affair with Steve playing downtempo music in the style of Kid Koala's "Music to Draw To" sessions.


    Hope you like it, don't let us know which hour you prefer as that'll make one of us upset.
