John, Doug, Ste, and Neil work on the railways. They won't sell you a ticket and they don't drive a train.

What happens when you have to clean up the worst day of someone else's life? Every 31 hours someone takes their own life on the railways in the U.K rail network. It is ten times more likely to be a man.

31 Hours is the story of four men who are employed to clean up after rail suicides. It is the story of four men at work. Four men at home. Four men dealing with their own lives. Their own problems. Dealing with them in their own way. On their own. Silently. It is a story of four men failing to talk. 

31 Hours starts with Neil being taken on for the job. The four main characters play the members of the Network Rail 'specialist cleaning branch', trying to grasp they suicide scenes they see, but also swap into other roles, telling the stories of men who have killed themselves through depression, family breakdown and post-traumatic stress. 

Filled with humour and humanity, it is a high-speed kaleidoscopic journey through masculinity, mental health and messy aftermaths in modern Britain.
