The conductor went full Sherlock Holmes in this highly entertaining Twitter thread from @comedylopez. It sounds like the sleepy dude almost pulled off his game of trying to fool the conductor, when it came to the matter of where he boarded the train. Ultimately, the conductor had an eagle eye and impressive ability at connecting the dots.

    Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour. When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn't a maths test, you don't need to know the distance/ speed).

"Oh, I need to buy a ticket" "Where you going, pal?" The guy glances at his phone. "Edinburgh" "Where did you get on?"

    Text - Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez · 3h I can see the cogs working in this guy's head. He figures out roughly where we are and what the last stop was. "Carlisle" The train guard sits down next to him and pauses. "Are you sure you didn't get on sooner?"

    Text - Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez · 3h The guy is wondering if the guard saw him earlier. He decides to go for it. Poker face time. I feel like l'm watching Pacino & De Niro face off in 'Heat'.

    Text - Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez · 3h Holy shit! Train Guard has evidence. Wasn't this supposed to be made available to the defence team? I can see the beads of sweat forming on the guy's forehead. "That's not mine" (Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the evidence the prosecution have is circumstantial)

    Text - Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez· 3h "That's not mine. I had a sandwich in Carlisle" Damn. He's denying everything. Is the train guard going to inspect the sandwich packaging? "Carlisle to Edinburgh, that's £27. Cash or card?"

    Text - Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez· 3h O He's... he's got away with it. Gutted. Really thought the train guard had him. The guy pulls out his wallet & slides over his debit card. There's a definite air of smugness, he put the card on the table like it was a platinum credit card.

"... and I'm sure if I checked the camera footage we'd see you getting on earlier and buying that sandwich". 2 279 ♡ 511 Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez · 3h "I fell asleep.

    Text - Ignacio Lopez @comedylopez · 3h The guy didn't sleep again after that. He spent the rest of the journey staring down at that receipt. I mean, the real crime here is the price of rail travel but, wow. What a trip.
