Plot[]

The crew head back to Portsmouth by train, only to find Troutbridge is elsewhere.

Opening remarks[]

There are hotlines from country to country, politically speaking, but one of the hottest lines at present is one belonging to British Railways. The one that didly-bom didly-boms it's way from Waterloo to Portsmouth. To the utter horror and terror of the guard and driver, this particular iron horse contains the whole ship's company of H.M.S. Troutbridge as they return from leave. In C.P.O. Pertwee's case, as soon as the carriage wheels had revolved an inch and a half, he was hammering on the counter of the buffet car demanding alcoholic service as he was a bona-fide traveller. A claim which he's still maintaining even though the train is now within a mile or so of Portsmouth Harbour Station.
