Dan, a railway worker who captured some ground-level footage of climb, told how the climber scaled the building in around an hour and 20 minutes.
He said: "I go to work at 5.50am and at that time it was already happening - I think he started climbing at 5.40am.
"I took the video at 6.45 and he reached the top at 7am. That stuff gives me the heebie-jeebies and it's not a bit of me, no.
"All of us were watching thinking 'what if he falls' - we were working and if he fell we would have to deal with the fall out so we were hoping he would make it to the top.
"When you get to the top there's a platform you can get onto and the police were there waiting for him.
"Half the station had to be closed as he could have fallen in a number of different places.
"He got to the top and we got a call at 7.20am saying he'd been arrested and we could open up the station."
