I once got severely held up taking the train home from Doncaster.
Turned out the delay was because the train in front had derailed, as it had collided at high speed with a naked man who had committed suicide by throwing himself onto the long straight bit of track near Kinsley. It's fair to say none of the parties concerned bar the man himself were expecting that.
