Storm the labrador reunited with owners after jumping on train at Hoppers Crossing and travelling to Flinders Street Station
A labrador visiting from Sydney managed to conduct his own self-guided tour of Melbourne’s western suburbs after jumping on a Metro train without his owner.
Storm made the unexpected 33km journey last month, travelling on the Werribee Line from Hoppers Crossing station to Flinders Street station.
The lab and his owners were on holidays from Sydney, and had been staying with family when Storm managed to escape from the backyard.
Metro Trains CCTV captured the dog nonchalantly jumping on the 8.20am train at Hoppers Crossing station.
His journey was cut short at Flinders Street by the train driver, who, with the help of station staff, took Storm to the Lost Dogs Home.
Storm was eventually reunited with his owners.

中文简要说明：
澳洲东南部维多利亚省首府墨尔本的火车，上周六出现一位特别的乘客。一只拉布拉多犬独自走到一处车站月台，一溜烟走进敞开的车门，搭了8站共33公里才被发现搭了「霸王车」，最后在站方人员协助之下「犬归原主」。
澳洲7 News、美国《纽约邮报》报导，这只名唤「风暴」（Storm）的拉布拉多犬，日前与主人从悉尼到墨尔本造访家人度假。上周末它溜出住处后院，一路走到哈波斯十字路口站（Hoppers Crossing）的月台，当时月台上正好有一列预计上午8时20分发车的电车停靠。监视器画面显示，「风暴」左右扫视了一下，步履敏捷地走进车门敞开的列车，车门一关，列车驶出车站。
「风暴」沿着墨尔本都会列车专营市区西南部的威瑞比线（Werribee Line），一路搭了8站，直到弗林德街站（Flinders Street）才被列车驾驶发现，这场33公里的「霸王车历险记」被迫画上句点，由站方人员带往「走失狗狗之家」安置，最后由主人接回。
狗狗之家人员扫描「风暴」身上的芯片，成功联系到饲主。「风暴」在等待主人领回期间获得「尊荣待遇」，工作人员牵着它把整座弗林德街车站逛了一圈，途中遇到的每个人都很友善、轻轻拍一拍它的身子，它甚至去了一趟墨尔本市区的亚拉河（Yarra River）南岸（South Bank）散步。
墨尔本都会列车公司把「风暴」这场历险记的短片放上脸书，引发网友热烈反应，至周三已超过6000人点赞或按下爱心或加油图案，不少网友留言都大呼「好可爱」，也有好些人直言「它就是想自己去探险嘛」，也有人觉得「好滑稽喔，但至少它回到主人身边了，超幸运的狗狗」，还有人打趣：「它进站没刷卡吧，等着吃罚单啦。」
墨尔本的宠物在饲主遵守规定的情况下可以搭乘火车、电车、公交车。不过，「风暴」这场历险记相对不寻常，因为它上车、乘车时主人不在身边。
