Just when you think visiting Australia can't be any stranger, the Brits turn up a new one by discovering the resting place of the first person to circumnavigate Australia while renovating a train station. Remember, kids, always use lead for your coffin plate so if you are lost for a few centuries, people who find you will know who you are.

    Say... what?
    The answer is: be practical, hire some train stuffers to squeeze as may passengers in as they can fit, before the train is scheduled to leave the station in time. Good for bottom line too.
    Like they are doing... in Japan [youtube.com]
