 Steam ranger almost did that to me, I turned up at Mt Barker for their
'Junction Jogger' and they almost canceled. 10 minutes past the scheduled
departure another 4 people showed and a local offed jump on for the ride
and buy a ticket, they decided they had the numbers and ran to Mt Barker
Junction. It was getting close to a ride up to the turntable only for me....
