Get to Chalk Farm NB last night.

Departing passenger knocks on cab door "There's an unattended

Go check and find that there is indeed an unattended rucksack in the
car, complete with about 20 passengers.

Detrain, telling everybody to leave the station and close the doors
on the car. Another passenger says to me - "the person who had the
rucksack got off at Mornington Crescent - he was drunk".



So common sense suggests it was not left by a muslim terrorist. The
passengers applied this preferred to take the small risk and get get
home


Which is the usual criteria for dealing with any matter arising (ignore it,
"I'm in a hurry"), regardless of the danger failing to take action may cause
to themselves or others.
