Underground Rail Rat

Tweet

If you have spent any amount of time on London Underground you will have seen some of the system's resident population of rodents. Mostly it will be the dark coloured mice scurrying back and forth hunting for food scraps, but occasionally larger rats can be seen. To add a little realism to the schooling, at the West Ashfield training station there is a fearless rat perched on the rail, just in front of the train mock up, watching the trainees as they are put through their paces on the simulator. A friendly fellow, he doesn't judge and keeps his opinions on the training to himself.
