The squirrels jumped on the Great Western Railway (GWR) 8.54am train from Reading to Gatwick on Monday, forcing passengers to flee to other carriages.

The passengers alerted staff, who tried to lure the squirrels off the train at Redhill with snacks, before trying to force them off with brooms - but to no avail.

They subsequently called the journey off entirely.

I'm guessing most people in here haven't had to interact with a tense squirrel in a confined area before. Squirrels look cute when they're sitting with their twitchy fluffy tails and extremities tucked in or jumping/climbing around gracefully.

The reality, squirrels are huge up close (cat sized), have extremely muscular physiques, and fucking claws like a Velociraptor. I'll admit though with trying to find pictures online that it turns out my local breed is just a larger species of the family but there's really no photography I'm finding out there of them. Guess it's time to learn some new skills and post up the group that lives around the house.
