SWNS via ASSOCIATED PRESS It took two-and-a-half hours to coax the cat down to safety.

Unfortunately capturing the cat proved to be a bit of a mission, one that resulted in having to take the train out of service and switching all the passengers onto another Express. It took two-and-a-half hours to coax the cat down to safety away from the 25,000 volt overhead lines which power the trains.
