Reminds me of the occasion many years ago when my father boarded a train
at Victoria Park (Vic) to travel to Rosanna.  He was retired, and no
longer a regular commuter.  He was at Northcote before he realised that
he was on the wrong train.  His excuse was that the train must have
divided at Clifton Hill, and the front half (which he was in) had gone
on the Epping line, and the back half had gone on the Hurstbridge line!
