It was many years ago while on an excursion to Edinburgh we waited and waited and waited upon the platform for our train back down South. Eventually we heard over the PA that 'We are sorry for the delay but we cannot start the rengine'. We ourselves thought it was funny unlike those who were not on a day out. Eventally we did leave being hauled by a decidely temperemental engine as it stopped at Newcastle and needed a fitter to hit it with an hammer and again at Doncaster. Memory does not now recall just how late we got back to Peterborough but we and our mini tribe thought it was a fun day out although we did feel sorry for those who might have lost their connections.
Can't afford train rides these days so have to travel by car which is nowhere near as exciting nor unpredictable.
