Scripted, filmed, edited and broadcast on the same day,[3] Going Home was set in a nightly inter-urban commuter train. A group of regular train travelers are featured on their daily commute in a blend of up-to-the-minute commentary on the news and events of the day, together with the unfolding dramas in their lives.[4] Viewer feedback was encouraged,[5] including plot and character suggestions that were regularly incorporated into subsequent episodes.
The concept has been used later in other countries: in Canada (Train 48), in France (Le train, "The Train") and in Italy (Andata e Ritorno, "Round Trip").
