Sacha, known for her portrayal of Sian Powers on the cobbles, appears as train station manager Melissa in the programme.
Platform 7 is adapted from Louise Doughty's 2019 novel of the same title, with the screenplay crafted by Paula Milne.
Speaking upon the initial announcement, Paula explained it was "no traditional 'spooky' ghost story". "It's the tale of a ghost on a quest to discover who she was and the events that led to her untimely death," she revealed, adding: "Her story is a celebration of indignation versus passivity and truth versus lies."
Viewers have been hooked watching the tale unfold, with one writing on IMDb.com: "Jaw dropping and engaging. Amazing, troubling yet gripping. Great series that keeps you hooked, slow burn into intense sitting on the edge of your seat engagement."
Another observed: "From early on, the show sets up questions and suspense around the death of the lead - with good characters and a nice pace, I was gripped throughout. The final episode was particularly intense."
"A brilliant watch!!!" declared another enthusiastic viewer. "It was my mum that said I need to watch this and it's very good. OMG I was hooked."
Someone else described it as "outstanding". "I binged watched this! It's so well written and done, it's only a shame there was four episodes - great acting from all involved, this series had me gripped from start to finish," they commented.
Another concurred: "Would love another series... Fantastic supernatural series, please give it a watch!!!!!! You won't be sorry."
Platform 7 is available to watch on ITVX.
