What is the furthest away from their destination that you have seen someone end up at (or even yourself if this has ever happened to yourself)?
Just a few weeks ago when i was in Horsham arriving on the last train of the day just after midnight a man was woken up in Horsham after arriving on the last train of the day. He had boarded at Peterborough and was only travelling one stop to Huntingdon but had fallen asleep and ended up in Horsham miles away. He said he had just done a long shift at work and was really tired and ended up falling asleep and ending up in Horsham miles away.
Unfortunately for him it was the last train of the day and there were no trains back so he had to take a taxi all the way from Horsham to Huntingdon to get home. I would hate to think how expensive that taxi must have been. It must have cost him maybe even £400 or £500 i think.
I am interested if anyone else has seen any examples of passengers ending up very far away from their destination either by falling asleep or simply boarding the wrong train by mistake or travelling to the wrong station with the same name as another or anything like that?
