I didn’t miss the stop, but there was a bit of panic for about 10 minutes. New to the UK train system, it was on my first venture out solo. The commute had been taken several times before, and I assured my SO that I would be fine. On the way back, the train started stopping at places I had never heard of before. Finally, a ticket collector came by. I asked him if I was on the right train. He said, “Yes”. It turns out that it was rush hour, and most of the stops are typically bypassed during non-rush hour times.
The last time I missed my stop was 30 years ago. Brand new to the DC area, I was living with my brother and SIL. It was an exhausting shift at work, it was raining, and I dosed off. Woke up in a panic, got off at the next stop and entered the hospital across the street to call home. My SIL told me to wait there and she would come and get me. It turns out that I was less than two blocks from their house.
