Passenger pooch hit by train at Richmond

A disobedient dog caused minor delays when it boarded a train, travelled one stop, disembarked, wandered on to the track and got run over at Richmond.

The mischievous mutt took it upon itself to board the train at Mortlake, without buying a ticket, and got off at North Sheen before wandering on to the track. The train guard then lost sight of the dog, an Alsatian cross, before driving over it, but not harming it, as the service approached Richmond on Friday, November 2.
