The same JBAA article identifies a number of simultaneous Mercury/Venus

solar eclipses (and one with a lunar eclipse, visible from the moon) are
also identified.

Wouldn't that be bloody typical. There you are watching a transit and
a bloody eclipse comes along and buggers it up for 5 minutes. Worse
than getting French tele breaking into Eastenders.

Especially if it was the first transit of Venus for 120 years.
