The driver of a South Western Railway train traveling from London to Portsmouth recently discovered a rather unexpected passenger.
Mark Walsh tells the BBC he suspected he was being pranked when a “polite customer” warned him there was a small crab enjoying all the luxuries of a first class seat.
Sure enough, though, there in the lap of luxury was Craig the crab. That’s what Walsh named him as he was relocating him to a local pond.
Still, it’s a mystery how he got on board the train, but Walsh guesses he “fell out of a fisherman’s bag or it could be some young people having a laugh.”
