I remember reading an anecdote on here years ago (god knows whether
it was true) that once when an LU engineering train stopped at a
still open station a few of the passengers tried to get onto the
wagons. No doubt just happy to get a seat.


Presumably thought they'd missed the last train, and just happy to take
any escape route.


I recall a story of an angry bloke trying to get himself and his family
into the cab of a freight train (or light?) locomotive at I think
Wandsworth Rd station, which seems bizarre enough to be true.


I remember a driver who (back in the days before cab passes) gave a lift to
a stranded bloke after sizing him up, on his Empty-to-depot that just
happened to be passing through the blokes destination station.
