PASSENGERS using Chester-le-Street railway station have the chance to see a classic British film at a discounted price - and all because it is the station master's birthday.
Station master Alex Nelson has organised the discount with the Tyneside Cinema, in Pilgrim Street, Newcastle, for the original Railway Children film.
Anyone who boards at Chester-le-Street station on the 9.46am train on Saturday, September 22, will be able to claim a £1 discount for the 10.30am showing of the film.
"It's my 40th birthday coming up and I just thought, 'why not do something to celebrate it, something a little bit different'," said Mr Nelson
