I was travelling from Aberdeen to Guildford (lonnnng way) and I left my ticket at the buffet car, when I got back to my seat I realised, went back to the buffet, someone had taken it and my railcard wallet in which I had my £24 railcard, £45, student ID and return tickets. I didn't even have a reciept and I got kicked off at Kirkcaldy. I was living in Guildford at the time and the people I was staying with had left for the airport to go on holiday so I couldn't go back to Aberdeen.
I didn't have a mobile phone on me, I had no money at all, I had no tickets, I was somewhere in Scotland about 350 miles from home and there were no staff on the station. In the end I begged a journey to Edinburgh, begged a journey to Prestwick Airport and got an announcement put over the PA for the friends I'd been staying with. They bought me new tickets and I went back to Guildford.
Two weeks later I got a package through the post containing my railcard, ID, tickets, £45 and a grovelling note from a woman saying she took the wallet thinking it was hers and she realised how much pain she must have put me through taking my tickets.
