Imagine turning up to work late and telling the boss: 'It was the swan!' It happened on Monday as the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) track on Pudding Mill Lane was delayed because a swan wandered onto the track. Services were suspended as staff waited for wildlife experts to intervene, leaving passengers stranded during one of the busiest travel windows of the week.
The incident quickly drew attention online, with one user posting on X: 'Swan on the tracks #DLR #London.' It came with a short video of the swan milling around the track.
