    #443 - A (slightly) Different Format (18th Oct 2026)

    This might be the longest we’ve been since doing a theme show. 2 months since we did a small rekkids show. And those don’t really count as a theme show in our opinion. So, here’s another somewhat standard show for your listening consideration. Hoping to be back again in the studio on Sunday but there’s a chance that we might be too tired after a busy busy weekend.

    #442 - Show in a Hurry (11th Oct 2026)

    This show was made in a hurry. Can’t remember if we mention that on the air or not. It was put together in about half an hour with about another 15 minutes of tinkering to iron out the (big) mistakes. We think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!

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

    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.

    #439 - "Okay, let's try that again, but this time good" (6th Sept 2026)

    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.

    #438 - "Should song titles in full caps be shouted?" (16th August 2026)

    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.

    #437 Small Records Vol 11. - Steve Spins Small Things (9th August 2026)

    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 heartbreak Hopefully see you next week, but if we don’t, remember to get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.
