Ghost bus.

Here's one for our "you couldn't make it up" series which is so unbelievable as to be thoroughly believable, if you get my drift. There's a bus which runs daily between Ealing Broadway and Wandsworth Road in London. It makes one trip each way each day. It appears on no timetable and makes no stops, so not surprisingly it carries no passengers. What's it doing? Well apparently if the Government wish to close down a passenger rail service they are obliged to hold a public consultation exercise - unless that is, they can show that an alternative bus service exists which mirrors the train service they wish to close. And that's where the bus comes in - the service exists even though nobody knows about it, and this has allowed them to close down the passenger train service between these two destinations. Brilliantly diabolical!
