Some unhappy information to carry you in the present day, as Huddersfield station’s resident station cat, Felix, has died after the invention of a terminal sickness.
The globally well-known cat served as ‘senior pest controller’ on the West Yorkshire station.
Felix was born in 2011 and joined the crew at Huddersfield six weeks later and spent nearly all of her life ‘on responsibility’.
Felix sadly handed away on the third December, and TPE are asking followers to chorus from visiting the station and as an alternative go away their expressions of sympathy through the Felix and Bolt Facebook page.
Bolt, Felix’s apprentice, joined the crew in 2018 and each have featured in calendars and two books, elevating greater than £240,000 for charity.
A spokesperson mentioned “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Felix. On Sunday night, she peacefully went to sleep, within the loving consolation of Angie Hunte (Station Manager) and Jacqui Cox (Station Team Leader). Felix joined TPE in 2011 and since then has left paw prints throughout the hearts of individuals from all around the world.
We will miss her dearly.”
Angie Hunte, Huddersfield Station Manager for TransPennine Express, mentioned: “Felix was greater than a cat; she was a beloved member of our station household and left her paw prints on many commuters’ hearts as they handed by the station.
“Her presence brought smiles to visitors from around the world, making Huddersfield Station a special place. We will miss her dearly.”
Angie added: “We understand that many people will want to honour Felix’s memory, we kindly encourage those wishing to fundraise or donate to consider buying the latest 2024 Felix and Bolt annual calendar instead.”
