A Train Ride Like No Other!

In an unexpected twist on a routine train ride, passengers aboard a South Western Railway service from London to Portsmouth were left utterly baffled when a crab made itself comfortable in first class.

Meet Craig: The Claw-some Stowaway!

Affectionately dubbed Craig by amused travelers, the feisty crustacean was discovered by the train driver, Mark Walsh, who initially thought his colleague was joking about a crab occupying a seat.

When the train reached its final destination, Walsh was in for a surprise as he found Craig "chilling" on a seat, showcasing an unexpected yet charming addition to the evening commute.

From London’s Bustle to Train Trouble!

Curious about how the little fellow got onboard, Walsh speculated whether it had escaped from a fisherman's bag or if it was just part of an elaborate prank. Passengers noted that Craig had been lounging comfortably since the Guildford stop, much to the amusement and confusion of everyone.

A Little Crustacean Adventure!

Most passengers took the unusual sight in stride, some even humorously scolding the crab for its apparent fare dodging. Walsh, who prides himself on being a pro at handling crabs thanks to family outings, managed to give Craig a gentle stroke but noted that he looked quite exhausted from his unexpected journey.

Finding a Safe Home for Craig!

With little time to spare before his next trip back to London, Walsh took it upon himself to ensure Craig was comfortable, setting him down in a nearby park with a pond. "It’s unlikely anyone will ever know how he ended up on the train, but he certainly made some waves in commuter land!" said Walsh, laughing at the whole situation.
