SUSPICIOUS SAUSAGE CLOSES STATION
Froghill station was closed for more than an hour on Tuesday after reports of a suspicious package being left on a platform bench. Police were alerted at about 2.50pm by a passenger who noticed a man behaving suspiciously and leaving the package before boarding a London-bound train.
Police closed the station for about 90 minutes and the building was evacuated in the interests of pubic safety. All services in and out of Froghill were halted.
Bomb disposal experts remotely detonated the package at around 3.30pm. It proved to contain an 8lb Cumberland sausage which, having been evenly roasted in the blast, was shared out among station staff.
“It was delicious,’ said part-time porter Paddy Porter, “and, by sheer coincidence, I’d called in at the shops on my way to work that morning and had some Dijon mustard in my locker.”
