Man sought in connection with "train surfing" incident

A man calling himself the Silver Shadow who was spotted on the top of a train travelling at up to 100mph is being sought by police.

At about 1.30pm on 11 December, the man was seen boarding the exterior of a train in between two carriages and waiting for the doors to close at Birkenhead's Rock Ferry station.

By 1.37pm, the same man is captured on CCTV on top of the train at Bromborough Rake station, waving at passengers as it passed through the station.

He got off the train at Bromborough Station two minutes later and was briefly spoken to by booking office staff. He concealed his face and told staff he’d travelled from Birmingham and was called the “Silver Shadow”.
