Just six turn up to Durham Tees Valley Airport train flashmob
05.04.11
A flash mob centred on one of Britain's most under-used railway stations attracted just six people. Even the organiser did not turn up, and neither did the train, the Northern Echo reports !
On a gloomy Saturday morning just six people appeared on the rather short platform of the halt at Durham Tees Valley Airport. To make matters worse, their expected train - one of just four trains stopping at the station every week - broke down on arrival, leaving them stranded in the wind and rain for more than an hour.
The event, promoted via the Internet and social networking sites, was intended to draw attention to the miserly amount of trains using the station, which has recorded less than 100 passengers in each of the last 6 years. Unfortunately it did not add significantly to that figure.
