Les Stocker, founder of St Tiggywinkles wildlife hospital, was called to the station after Chiltern Railways customer service manager Mark Cooper was met by four pairs of eyes when he opened the train ticket machine after it stopped working.  Mark Cooper, Customer Service Manager said: "The permit to travel machine was not working and when we opened the machine up to find out what the problem was we found a group of Glis Glis and contacted St Tiggywinkles. We were glad to see the animals taking such an interest in the Chiltern Railways services from Little Kimble."  British law does not allow the release of Edible Dormice back into the wild, even though the Chilterns have been home to wild Glis Glis for well over a hundred years so they  have now joined Tiggywinkles ever increasing family.
