Pigeon Causes 6min Delay

[Robinson]

Always remember back in summer 2004, I had come over to the UK to do auditions for music schools (3 auditions in consecutive days); on the way up to Edinburgh I caught a headline in the London Evening Standard "Sorry, there's a dog on the line".
Can't remember where it happened (didn't seem to affect us), but apparently it caused a fair bit of disruption...

There was a similar incident at Farringdon station one evening when an old lady let her cat out of its basket and it wandered onto the track. They had to isolate the third rail for about half an hour.

Shame the previously mentioned dog wasn't nearby...
