Misplaced Driver
I took the train last night to Kent to see my other cousin there. On the way down, the train splits in two -- the front goes off in one direction and rear goes off to the place we were going.
After five minutes of waiting for something to happen, the announcer comes on and says "We're sorry for the delay, but it isn't our fault. They seem to have misplaced the driver of the other train."
Misplaced, we agreed, was a euphemism for "he popped off for a quick drink and didn't tell anyone".
Earlier in the day, we heard the announcement on the Tube that one of the lines had been delayed "due to pedestrian action", which apparently means someone jumped on the tracks.
