Has there ever been such a thing? Where the leisure pax buy a ticket for the day, board and have no idea where they are going until they get there?
I know that happens all the time for coach trips - but in the back of my head I'm sure there were such trips on rail advertised in the 70's (maybe when stock wasn't so much at a premium?). Clearly the drivers and signalmen would know (hopefully...)..
I suppose one logistical problem would be what do you do with the train after it's arrived at it's destination for, what, 2 - 3 hrs until return; tucked away on a rarely-used platform, sidings, or moved completely out of the way miles away??
