A while back I was on that old EMU which used to come out to play

Great Eastern, and the staff were struggling to convince passengers
it
was a real service and they wouldn't have to pay extra for it.

I saw someone miss a Marple train formed of 101 685 at Manc Picc ages ago
as they thought (only exclaiming this after departure) it was "their
museum piece".


On a similar note when they turned out a 101 for a Hadfield train the
passengers didn't believe it.
They all stood further along the platform assuming a 305 would arrive in
front of the 101 until
the driver poked his head out of the cab window a couple of minutes before
departure.
