#440 - Square and Interesting (20th Sept 2026)

The Night Train® ·

2026/09/23

You know when this show would have been good to listen to? Yesterday. When it was unseasonably sunny in Sheffield. As it goes, it’s grey and a bit drizzly today. But as we say, we like to play music for almost any occasion.Once again, no theme this week. There is one long song, and that’s not at the end so you can’t (easily) avoid it. We’re in the market for more long songs. If you know any good ones around the 20 minute mark, hit us up.As always, if you feel like it please get in touch with

Evenin’ all. We didn’t do a show last night but we couldn’t leave you without something to tide you over until we’re next on the airwaves.We’ve pinched a show that we love and that we think you’ll love as well. It’s by friend of the show Louise T and it’s a great monthly show on LWSTD.fm. This was the show that went out on Saturday. It's a doozy, so we wanted you to hear it.https://www.mixcloud.com/loutoal/Don’t forget… get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

The Night Train® ·

2026/09/09

This was a new experience for us. Which is impressive as we’re 439 shows into this nonsense. We attempted to do this show a couple of weeks ago but studio gremlins got in the way. So instead of putting it down to a bad job, we’ve regrouped and had another go at it. Is it as good as the 1st time around? Nobody will ever know apart from us. Why has it taken ‘tlll Wednesday morning for an upload? Same answer.As always, if you feel like it please get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

2026/08/19

Feels weird uploading this while it’s light. Usually this is more of a nocturnal activity. Much like the show. Sometimes we wonder “should we be more uniform with our uploads?”. It’s not going to happen. Well, it could but truth be told… we’re not sure we’d like that stress. Anyway, here’s the show. Enjoy.As always, if you feel like it please get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t

The Night Train® ·

2026/08/11

Step right up for show number four hundred and thirty seven. Another 7 inch special! Steve did this one on his own as he didn’t want to leave you without a show to soundtrack the next batch of hot weather that’s in the post.It’s 4 sets. A garage rock-ish one. A British beat-ish one. A psychedelic-ish one. And one that’s sorta about heartbreakHopefully see you next week, but if we don’t, remember to get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

Another week, another show where one/both presenters complain(s) about being tired. You’d think by now they’d know how to be fully rested for the show.This show is a deep one.

Back in the old studio, for possibly the last time? We’re not sure. Will it matter to you lot? Probably not. All you want is 2 hours of quality radio which you’ve got (eventually). You’ll be pleased/sad* to know there’s no theme this week. Just us, picking songs, talking about songs and other stuff.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also

Evenin’ all. Or good mornin’. Depending on when you read this. Or if you read it at all. This week’s show had some beats, some guitars, some music from Jamaica and a fair bit of new music.

#431 - Blood & Fire (31st May 2026)

The Night Train® ·

2026/06/03

Sunday’s show was a doozy. Hour one was the standard stuff but hour two is where it really gets going. We did a tribute (of sorts) to Steve Barrow, who sadly passed recently by playing an hour of stuff we heard on his Blood & Fire record label.No live show from us this weekend as we’re out on Saturday night. Tune in the following week for tales of Steve’s birthday bash.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

#430 - "Mostly Bob” (24th May 2026)

2026/05/26

It’s night time in The Big City. Rain isn’t falling as it’s an unseasonal heatwave. A late night radio show host writes a hackneyed blurb for an upload… Sunday’s show is here at long last.. where we celebrated Bob Dylan’s 85th birthday by playing songs that he wrote, performed by other people.One day soon we’ll do a show without any type of theme. Tune in on Sunday to see if it happens next time.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

2026/05/18

The weeks, they roll ‘round quickly. It seems only yesterday that we were playing animal records yet here we are again… doing an upload and trying to work out how to make it sound enticing enough to listen to. Thankfully, a lot of you are in too deep now so you don’t want to stop listening. And we appreciate that.It’s a standard show this week, old cuts and hot chat. What you’ve come to know and love.Big Big Holiday Weekend show next week. Tune in live to see what we do!As always though, get in

The best thing about this show is for the first time in 3 weeks we haven’t had to think about animal songs. It’s a standard show with the usual stuff. Gig reviews, stuff we’ve heard on other shows, general bad mixes and handbrake segues.There may or may not be a show on Sunday… we’re out on Friday night and we’re getting older so it takes longer to recover!As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

#427 Small Records Vol 10. - Dancing Animals (5th May...

The Night Train® ·

2026/05/04

Well, this is possibly our most ambitious theme show ever! Three themes in one. Dancing, animals and dancing animals. We've just counted up and annoyingly, it's 44 songs. 45 would have been nice as it's a show on all 45s. Perhaps if we'd have started properly we might have snuck another one in.

#426 - "The Animals Went In Two By Two" (26th Apr 2025)

The Night Train® ·

2026/04/28

So, it’s an animals on wax special. Songs with animals in the title or band name. I know how to party. It’s rough and ready, not fixed anything and if you listened live, you got a bonus 3 songs. I was going to edit them in but I thought “you should have been there”. Shout out to Phillie B for giving me the idea of a theme within a theme.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

The Night Train® ·

Listeners that have been with us a while, will either be rejoicing or lamenting this upload. It’s the return of the 100% strange music show! It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, which is a travesty (in some people’s eyes).So here it is, 120ish minutes of weird music for you to enjoy/endure.No show from us tomorrow (19th April) due to legitimate reasons. We’ll hopefully be back next week with another great show.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

#424 with Freakbeat Brónagh's Guest Mix (5th April 2026)

The Night Train® ·

2026/04/06

Alright party people! A Monday upload that we’ve been putting off all day as it’s been sunny. It was a solo show from Steve, but that’s not the important bit. The important bit is there’s AN AMAZING GUEST MIX THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR EARS. Freakbeat Brónagh’s Land of Make Believe Mix is one for the ages. Don’t panic, we’re going to upload it clean in the week so you don’t have to endure Steve’s dulcet tones and dull chat.Back next week for a standard show. It’s #425 so we could do a weird one. We

#423 Tired. So, so very tired (29th March 2026)

The Night Train® ·

2026/03/31

Just a quick hello to say, here’s the show. It’s got both of us in the studio which isn’t going to happen again for at least a week. If things go according to plan, Steve will be flying solo on Sunday. It is the Easter Bank Holiday weekend though so if you haven’t got work, do tune in and say hi!This show may or may not work on Mick’s Cloud. There’s a song by DJ Shadow that’s technically 6 songs, so it might get flagged for copyright. If that’s the case, sorry!As always though, get in touch with
