Actors from local group Dead Herring were on hand to help find the crucial clues, and as the train travelled through the South Oxfordshire countryside, those on board had the opportunity to question suspects, solve a murder and unmask the killer.

The event, which had a 1930s and 1940s theme, was part of the Agatha Christie mystery weekend.

It takes place every year to celebrate Agatha Christie, who famously lived in Wallingford for 42 years.

Over the course of the weekend there were a variety of events throughout the town lined up for the whole family to enjoy.
