No, they call it the faster spread of news. Without this NG, none of
us would ever have heard of this incident, nor of any other similar
ones.

I have never, ever, in many journeys over many years, encountered
anything I'd think to be remotely threatening on a late-night train.
I've seen drunk people, silliness, high spirits and such, but never
anything seriously threatening. Most late-night trains I've been on
have been quiet and subdued, while others (such as the last run to
Buxton on a Friday night) almost feel like a social club.

While this incident raises major questions in how it was handled, I'd
think that was fairly good odds, and I really wouldn't worry.
