Lollygagging Swan Ties Up Commuter Train Tracks For 2 Miles

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Just take your time. I got nowhere to be. That kind of sarcasm had to be filling a commuter train outside London because a swan was just waddling along on the tracks for two miles. The train had to slow to a crawl behind the bird.

The rail company tweeted that the bird, upon being released, apologized for holding everyone up. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
