The girls were left red-faced after their blow-up fella was swept on to the line by a gust of wind, forcing one train to divert to another platform
But before staff could get to him, another gust took him to a second track.
A driver who was forced to stop picked it up and, to the laughter of onlookers, handed it to the red-faced owners.
Dick Molloy — who was travelling from Flitwick Station, Beds, to London — said: “It was a blow-up guy with muscles on the front.
“The girls sat down and must have put it beside them. Within a few seconds, the wind caught it and it flew on to the tracks.
“The girls ran to tell the station staff. I think they were quite panicked because it might have looked like a body on the line.”
Dick, 57, added: “The London train had to be diverted from platform one to platform three.
“While we all trooped over the doll rolled on to the next track. We were all laughing our heads off. The girls were apologising to everyone.”
Thameslink said no major delay was caused but added: “We would like to remind customers to keep inflatable companions under control for their own safety, as well as the safety of fellow travellers and railway staff.”
