Over the course of a year, Folbigg became absolutely besotted with her train crush – and would sit silently in the same carriage every single day, willing him to notice her.

“I worked on a teen magazine at the time, and my colleagues were amazing. I'd go into work and they'd say ‘How's train man today? What was he wearing, did he look up?’ and it was always ‘Oh no, I didn't talk to him,’” she explained.

On her birthday, exactly one year after she first spotted him, Folbigg plucked up the courage to hand her crush a handwritten letter, explaining her feelings and leaving him her email with an invitation for drinks.

But, come 5pm, disaster struck: he emailed to reveal that he had a girlfriend.
