Travelling back from London on Saturday I was annoyed (but not suprised) that the train ground to a halt 10 or so minutes after leaving Euston station.
The reason? A swan was on the train line and wouldn't move.. An hour late we eventually got on the way. Much to the amusement of the train (and train manager) the following two Manchester trains passed us on the other up line whilst we were waiting. :roll:
I fail to see how train in front us had even managed to stop, assuming it was going at speed for a swan.. Surely Train > Swan?
