A pigeon has been spotted on a train heading to Greenhithe.

Robert Bagley spotted the mischievous feathered creature yesterday, on a train between Stone Crossing and Greenhithe.

He posted a picture of the birdie on Twitter, branding it a "fare dodger".

The Columbidae has since been described as "lazy".

While the winged beast may have been heading to Bluewater to do some early Christmas shopping, with plenty of train trouble in north Kent over the last few days, it would probably have been better off flying.
