LONDON — An unexpected incident occurred on a British train when two squirrels decided to hitch a ride, leading to the cancellation of the service, as reported by Great Western Railway on Wednesday.
The unusual event took place on Saturday, causing the 08:54 a.m. local time service departing from Reading, located in the southern part of England, to be prematurely terminated before it could reach its final stop, Gatwick Airport.
Upon reaching Redhill, Surrey, railway staff made attempts to coax the uninvited guests off the train. However, one of the squirrels stood its ground, refusing to leave the train, according to the railway’s statement.
A spokesperson for the railway confirmed, “The 0854 Reading to Gatwick service was unfortunately terminated at Redhill due to the unexpected boarding of two squirrels at Gomshall, in violation of railway ‘by-claws’.”
They further added, “Despite our best efforts to remove them at Redhill, one of the squirrels remained defiant and was taken back to Reading, bringing a rather nutty adventure to a close.”
While it’s not uncommon to see pets like dogs on trains in Britain, the sight of rodents as passengers is certainly less frequent.
It’s worth noting that the UK is home to an estimated 2.7 million gray squirrels, a number that continues to grow, as per data from the Woodland Trust, a charity dedicated to conservation.
Agree: Squirrel should’ve just moved out of the way.
Disagree with the inconvenience caused by squirrel’s actions.
Good punctuation and grammar, Agree: The squirrel’s stubbornness caused a lot of inconvenience for the train service.
