I saw a tweet this morning to Southern Rail from a surprised passenger who found himself on a train that wasn't in service.
Looking further into it, it seems that the passenger was travelling from the south coast into London Bridge, but fell asleep. He then ended up in the suburbs of London on a subsequent ECS move, with what must have been an equally surprised Driver letting him out at Tulse Hill.
This incident is quite confusing to me as whenever I arrive at a terminal station on a train that will head back out as ECS to depot/sidings, platform staff check each carriage (usually consisting of one walking inside the train, and another walking up the platform). For a station like London Bridge, this incident really is rather strange!

So @SouthernRailUK I'm so glad to have a service that don't wake up passengers by the trains final stop. Now currently somewhere travelling free on my very own chauffeured train #whereami #luxury #shocking #driveriscoolthough #southerntrains
