Thorn triplet on Ebay Just imagine Mrs. Wow, Dez and myself venturing out on that! And it hasn't even got a Rohloff hub to break. ;)

Isn't it a beauty? A bit difficult to take anywhere though: we'd need a car trailer and I reckon getting it on a train would be very difficult.

This tends to be a requirement on bigger multi-rider machines.  A friend has a four-up tandem (a beast to ride) and it would effortlessly break freewheels when the cranks were in sync.  The current crank set-up ensures scraped pedals but maintains forward motion.
