They're trapped somewhere, looking out into nothingness. And that's it. We never find out what happens to them after that.

It was REALLY weird and freaked me out for ages. Weren't they intially in some sort of railway station and there was a man with no face...? Spooked me as a girl!

It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go. That tune was used in the railway station storyline...can't hear it to this day without getting the shivers! Loved the series!

I have vague memories that they are trapped inside a motorway service station outside of which is limbo. They were lured there by some nasty elements ( sorry! ). I always thought it was an unusual end to a series where the heroes lose.

I thought it was "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag", that was the tune in the railway station storyline. It's been along time.

Hi dondons - S&S ended with a complicated story set in a haunted petrol station, it turned out that the whole "problem" was a trap set up for them by another group of powerful beings(The Transients, I think they were called) because S&S had been so "successful". They ended up trapped inside a cafe/window travelling through eternity. Silver was in the story too and I hoped he would save the day as he seemed to escape the trap.

JIlls: was the tune in the station not Pack up your troubles?
