Clyde, an escaped tortoise managed to climb on the tracks near Norfolk and was walking along when a passenger  spotted him.  She alerted alerted staff at the next station. Four lines had to be shut down while Clyde was rescued.
He is now safely home with his family who were looking for him.

I have questions. How does a tortoise escape? It can't climb a fence or open a gate. Once he is out, how and why would he end up on the train tracks?
Clyde is clearly faster than expected. He was on the tracks, where do you think he was going?
The good news is that he is home safe and the trains are running again. Running on time, I am not so sure. We can't blame future delays on Clyde.
