Friday’s 8.42pm service from Stansted airport to London’s Liverpool Street was carrying passengers returning from trips abroad when it missed the -Harlow Town stop.
The driver told those affected to change platforms at an unscheduled stop in Broxbourne, five miles away.
Barbara Jones, 60, had flown home from Poland.
She said: “Many passengers were ready for bed. Missing the stop was the last thing they wanted.
"People were screaming in despair and shaking their heads in disbelief.”
