How on earth can this happen?

Possibilities based on what I can see:

(1) Met train is heading for Chesham, the points are therefore set to
cross over, and the Chiltern train SPADed.

I think the Met train was eastbound, and the Chiltern train heading for
Amersham, but was wrongly put on the crossover to the eastbound line.
That's the route taken by Met trains to Chesham, and no Chiltern train
should normally go that way.

Anyone know if a Chiltern train has ever gone to Chesham for some special
run or other reason?
