One of those days

Next time you have one of those days when nothing seems to go right, rember this.

A warning light came on in a Eurostar Paris - London train. The driver thought it meant a fault that would mean he was not allowed to use the tunnel, but would be OK going back to Paris. So, at Lille he swapped passengers with a Paris bound train ehich turned back to London with his original passengers and he set off back to Paris with the other lot.

But he'd misunderstood the warning light and at 1am 80 miles outside Paris the train failed. A Loco was sent out to rescue them all and that broke down as well anf the passengers didn't reach Gare du Nord till 9am!
