 Not in the same vain but many years ago they locked up the platforms  and
turned of all the lights  on the down line between Camberwell and Box Hill
around 7 pm and used the centre track for the down trains  so the  first
train that was to use the centre line this particular night was sent via
the down line. This doesn't seem so bad but the passengers who were
waiting on the centre platforms and those that could not get of the locked
down platforms were not impressed at all.
