A bus driver on Interstate 95 driving to Boston with about 60 passengers suddenly told them he was tired and needed to sleep — so he dropped them off on West Avenue by the Darien Railroad Station and drove off, Darien police said. It was 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when Darien police officers came across the crowd, which included elderly people and adolescents. No train would stop at the station for a few more hours. Here’s the Darien police news release about the incident:
On Sept. 28 at approximately 2:30 a.m., officers working the overnight shift came across an unusual situation in the downtown Darien area. 
At that time approximately 60 people were located on West Avenue near the Post Road.
