London Euston: Fox rescued from station toilet

Railway staff at London Euston discovered a fox curled up in one of the railway station's toilets.

The fox had sneaked into the loo undetected overnight, and was found "curled up into a tight ball" early on Monday morning.

The station staff called the RSPCA, which sent its team to rescue it.

The fox was safely removed just before 10:00 BST and taken to be checked over by a vet.

Gareth Parry, Network Rail station manager at London Euston, said: "The Monday morning peak period often has something which can outfox our teams - but an actual fox in the toilets is a new one for me as station manager.

"Our priority was to make sure that as well as the fox being okay, that it didn't try to lash out in fear at any of our staff or members or the public.

"Thankfully the RSPCA were able to safely get it into an animal carrier and taken away for a check up."
