Talking about people missing trains etc... reminded me of a time where I was in a train from Glasgow Central to Hamilton. Train stops at Dalmarnock and the driver makes an announcement that the train wouldn't be going any further due to a fault so asked everyone to get off and wait for the next one which would be along shortly.
Everyone disembarks including a family of five including what I assume to be a husband, wife, two kids and the dad's elderly mother.
Problem is the old dear wasn't too quick and rather than actually get stuck on the abandoned train, she was half on half off. Now I'm sure the doors have a safety mechanism so people don't get stuck when the doors are closing. This one clearly didn't work as the elderly lady somehow managed to get her head stuck between the two doors closing.
Cue a lot of panic from the family thinking dear old grandma would be getting carted away woth her face hanging between two train doors. Thankfully they noticed and opened all the doors and the old dear got out.
Obviously a short yet horrible experience for all involved but the sight of this panicked old lady with her head stuck between two train doors will never not make me laugh thinking about it
