Tom's list of terror

Tom shaw and the list of terror
Mar 18, 2010 Updated Mar 19, 2010

Careful with that pen, Eugene..a UK muso is thrown off a train for writing a set list...

A UK musician has spoken today of his shock at being removed from a train for "behaving suspiciously" by writing a list of songs which included the band name "The Killers".

Tom Shaw, 25, who works with young people with learning difficulties, was travelling on a South West Trains when he began writing a list of song titles which his band The Magic Mushrooms would play at a forthcoming gig.

But the 25-year-old was approached by two security staff employed by the train company, who asked him to explain the list he was writing before ordering him off the train at the next station.

A spokesman for the train company said in a statement "We would like to thank the passenger for his co-operation and understanding of the need to be vigilant in the current environment."

Heavy-handed? Surely not...
