That reminds me...I once stopped at Haywards Heath and a despatcher came running up to me. He was laughing and told me that I had driven away from a previous station with a family's luggage, but not the family !
Apparently they had loaded all their stuff onto the train, then walked away from the train to do the kissy-kissy thing with their friends.
When I'd checked the CCTV monitors they were clear, as they only show 6 feet to the side of the train, so I'd shut the doors and departed.
I'm pleased to say that the outcome was a happy one in the end, as we unloaded the bags off my train at HH, and once the family was reunited with their stuff they got the faster service to Victoria which overtook me.
