Train Girls!

'They rode the Night Sleeper from dusk 'til dawn providing high-class mobile Personal Services'

Tallulah Smyth made a conscious decision to exploit the money-making gift that comes as standard equipment with every woman. She considered it a socially acceptable means of making a livelihood, reasoning that being wined and dined, and ending up in bed was no different to ending up in bed and receiving cash in lieu of the meal.

Skilfully, she started to extract money from her beaus - who remained in denial that they were really paying for personal services. One day, spotting a gap in the market, Tallulah set up shop on the Night Sleeper service to Scotland, attending to the needs of the weary business travellers. Twice weekly she left her friends and family persona at platform three in London, and retrieved it at platform eight in Glasgow.

At first, all went smoothly. But finding success can be a rocky journey, especially at 80 mph along the bucking and winding steel road. There were blackmail threats, pimps to deal with, brutal punters, sordid situations, strange requests, and murder - but nothing that Tallulah and her 'girls' couldn't handle using their consummate professional skills.
