When it comes to delayed trains, commuters have heard nearly every excuse in the book. But it remains something of a novelty to be told that a train is late because the driver has been viciously attacked by a seagull. 

That’s what happened to passengers awaiting the 8.15 from Hastings, East Sussex, to London recently. The rush-hour train was delayed while the driver, who had been struck on the head, was checked over by first-aiders. 

The driver, who had been walking along a platform towards his train’s cab at the time, was said to be ruffled, but resumed his duties 15 minutes later.

A Southeastern Trains’ spokesman said: “This is a rare occurrence. But seagull attacks can be quite serious. These large birds have been knocking people over.” 

Liza Donaghue, 63, was waiting at Tonbridge station, Kent, said: “Everyone started looking at each other and saying, ‘Did he just say what I thought he said?’ People could not believe it.” 

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said that apart from scavenging raids for food, seagulls attack people only to protect their young.
