There was one night in, IIRC, 1967 or 1968 when there was heavy rain and
flooding in Kent, and each route the train took was blocked and it had to
turn back. Passengers expecting to wake up on the way in to Paris woke up
at
Gravesend.

It was in October 1968. I was in digs in Crawley and had a very dodgy
journey back on the Sunday night in question. Hever Castle was flooded IIRC.
