The police would have taken quite a while to come and 'collect' the chap as well. This is often isolated Scotland we're talking about, not the middle of NYC.
generally what would happen is the train staff would contact the terminal station and police would be waiting there. most larger stations, even in isolated scotland, do have transport police. it's not as though he was travelling to the outer hebrides or some remote place.
