    I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the legendary BR sandwiches yet.

    I was driving the service train on the old Lincs Coast Light Railway in the 70's - I seem to think that it was "bent frame" Motor Rail 7 and one of the Ashover coaches. We were in thick fog, suddenly looming up on the line in front of me was a donkey. I stopped very quickly. It refused to move. This was one of the beach donkeys that usually lived in an adjacent field which had obviously got through the fence. In the end I had to drive the train with it walking grudgingly in front of us, all the way to North Sea Lane station. The waiting passengers heard the train approaching out in the fog, then were presented with the sight of a donkey walking out of the gloom, up the line and into the platform. We ended up phoning the donkey owners who came and took it away...

    Yeh i was talking to this so called enthusiast at Charing Station in Kent , He was so proud of his laser gaget to shine in drivers eyes as they passed while waiting for the cathedrals express to pass, looked for someone in charge but nobody around when you want them, He then walked over to his BMW series 6 and drove off.
    Oh and he old enough to know better.

    A herd of cows.
    Very many photographers (a danger to themselves, mostly).
    Dodgy burger van (does this count?)
