If you swan around on the railway, you get The Bag. Thanks to our ops manager Chris for helping this feathered friend safely from the line at #Staines and to @SW_Help customers who had to wait for us to arrive. The swan is off to a sanctuary to relax. pic.twitter.com/LI8kZnIlqt— Network Rail Wessex (@NetworkRailWssx) October 3, 2022
