In The 7.39, two commuters who get the 7.39 train, Carl and Sally, get friendly and embark on a love affair.
In the first of the two episodes, it shows Carl dissatisfied with his family life – in particular, his relationship with attentive wife, Maggie, and their children.
Sally, meanwhile, is engaged.
They start out as friends, but it quickly turns into something more, with each of them looking forward to their commute chats.
Carl even signed up at the health club where Sally is the manager, so he can see here more often.
