Platform Five at Bury St Stimphull Station was only ever used once and hasn't been seen since. According to the local legislation, no other trains may use the track until the previous one has been cleared at the next stop.
There aren't really any laws on dealing with trains that just vanish, let alone ones full of internet using travellers whose accounts have remained inactive and untraceable for almost seven years. Occasionally a photo will emerge from some odd website that hasn't been updated since the early 90's and another blurry photo of the missing train will simmer about the surface of the web before sinking back into obscurity.
Last month a video came out, allegedly from someone on the missing train. They were using their phone, the age of the device showed badly as the footage was mostly vaguely humanoid pixels calling out into an empty station and then running for the train when they hear a reply.
All nineteen minutes of the video showed this happening in eight different stations, all eerily familiar somehow and all empty but for a single voice that sounds a little too rough to be human. Each syllable is growled out like gravel under tyres but the e is never a figure in sight.
Come to think of it, you never see the passenger's faces either, they're always facing away.
