• When the night tube first came about I got on the central line to head to Liverpool Street from central somewhere. Ended up waking up in Leyton. Switched platform and got the train back the other way and woke up as the train pulled into White City. Fell asleep on the platform for a few minutes and a kind station attendant nudged me at some point to say a train was there. Got on it and had a very hard time to keep myself awake to make sure I didn’t end up skipping past Liverpool Street for a third time.

  • I did something very similar on the central line.
    Work christmas party near Bank, so central line to Bond St for a change to Jubilee, easy enough. Nodded off and woke up at Marble Arch - "that was lucky!" I thought... then I woke up again at Loughton. Shit.
    I waited in the cold, and got the same train back out and then woke up in White City. Shit.
    Fortunately I could wait in the station this time, not quite so cold. I got the next train out, determined to stay awake the short journey to Bond St.... woke up at Newbury Park. Shit.
    One more cold wait, no telephone this time because that went AWOL somewhere, and I got back on a train resolved to get off at Stratford so I could at least fall asleep on the right line. Fortunately managed that, finally, and got home at around 5am.

  • I played pong on the central line too! Kept missing Tottenham Court Road and had to resort to standing up to try and stay awake which meant I fell over at each tube stop.
