Passengers in London stuck on trains due to swan on Elizabeth line track
Elizabeth line services through London have been suspended because of a swan on the track at Paddington.
Passengers on board a number of services said they had been told the bird was blocking part of the route. Transport for London said there was "an obstruction" on the track which had halted trains between Heathrow Airport in west London and Abbey Wood in south-east London."Has nobody been on the shooing course. I cannot believe you closed the entire Elizabeth line for a swan on the tracks," they added.
Passengers reported being held on trains — which do not have toilets — for up to hour due to the swan.National Rail Enquiries blamed the issue on "animals on the railway".The Elizabeth line stretches from Reading in Berkshire and Heathrow Airport to Shenfield in Essex and Abbey Wood.
