Does anyone remember the Finchley Central passenger mutinies?

No, but I remember this
Perhaps the two are related?

Would the DMU have come from Finsbury Park ?

Does anyone remember the Finchley Central passenger mutinies? Would you mind elaborating? Does this refer to passengers who refused to leave a train? |

Does this refer to passengers who refused to leave a train? There were some such incidents, with trains being turned short and passengers refusing to be "tipped out". The DMU must have come from Finsbury Park. Other than a low-loader, there was never any other way. Judging by the cameras this is a railtour. From the dmu's livery, I would guess early sixties. |

Indeed so, it was happening much too often and one day in pouring rain, they finally mutinied. It happened several times, and even the presence on one occasion of (lonely) BT Police seemed not to have any effect. It
happened far less often in due course. I recall in the Army that the tradition was to make sheep bleating noises in similar situations. Somebody had indeed taken notice, as one passenger said at the time 'even worms can turn'.
