This was last Thursday and I'm still a bit raw about it honestly.

Long day at work, left around 10pm, got on the last train home. Six stops, maybe fifteen minutes, I've done it hundreds of times. I put my headphones in and I remember thinking I'd just rest my eyes for a bit because I was absolutely done and the carriage was warm and quiet and that was genuinely the last thought I had for a while.

I woke up because it was too quiet. No movement, no announcements, nothing. I pulled my headphones out and the carriage was empty. I looked out the window and there was no platform. Just darkness and other trains parked in rows and some lights far away that were definitely not a station.

I walked through the whole train looking for anyone. Found the driver eventually doing paperwork in the cab at the front. He looked up and just went completely still for a second, like he was trying to figure out where I had come from. Turns out nobody had checked the carriages before driving it into the depot which I think is somewhat on them but I also fell asleep on a train so.

He called someone, got me a taxi back to the nearest station, very apologetic about the whole thing. I got home at 1am. My fifteen minute commute.

TL;DR Fell asleep on the last train, woke up alone in a depot, had to be rescued by the driver who had no idea I was there.
