'Scared stiff'
"The passengers were all scared stiff that the ferret was going to bite them."
"They were all going crazy," said the Midland Mainline spokesman.
"We have recently introduced a clampdown on fare-dodging - we are thinking of introducing a new policy of ferret-dodging."
After discovering the animal, the train driver radioed ahead to Long Eaton station, in Derbyshire, 15 minutes down the track, to ask for help.
RSPCA inspectors were called on board and took the ferret away in a cardboard box.
