Railway runaway
Everyone has heard of running away to join the circus, but now a young boy has tried to run away to join the railway... 15 times!
The Sun newspaper has reported that the boy, who is only four years old, is extremely determined in his mission and has even managed to make his way, on his own, to a station a mile from his house; he even approached station staff asking for a ticket.
The situation is now so desperate that his parents have even put up wanted style posters in local train stations in case the boy makes a break for it again.
His mother told The Sun newspaper: “It's a nightmare - we can't turn our backs for a second. He's a real terror and just can't get enough of trains.”
