In an atmosphere of economic crisis and budget austerity, the government is sending inspectors to all the public transport stations in the country to evaluate their efficiency and profitability. Harry is going crazy, convinced that any one of the passengers that occasionally pass through his station may be the Government Inspector coming to close his station.

The show takes us on a vibrant, comical, musical, as well as educational journey through London, its history and its most emblematic places.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
