A train loaded with tanks from the 2nd and 3rd Armoured Brigades departed but never reached its reported destination. Suggested explanations include sabotage, bombing, misrouting, or abandonment on a siding, yet no accompanying party or reconnaissance established what happened. The story deserves scepticism because blaming the French could neatly conceal a British loss. Wartime logistics records do not support a firm conclusion, so the train's fate remains unresolved.
