I just saw fox running near the rails at the Bow Church DLR station :-
D
It ran through the length of the platform, then crossed the rails and
went to the garden nearby.

Did he remember to touch in and touch out to avoid paying the maximum fair?

I was a bit more surprised when I saw a fox come down from the
footbridge and wander across platform 5/6 at London Bridge, given that
the whole station is on a viaduct.

Well, until then I haven't see any fox in London at all. At least now
I understand that those fox-like "dogs" I see sometimes are actually
foxes! (which was quite unbelievable for a foreigner)

I have seen 4 in my garden - mum, dad and 2 juniors. I often hear the
high pitched screams of foxes during the night.

I have also almost been "foxbushed" on the way to the station in the
dark when 4 or 5 foxes came running up the road behind me to try to
reach their lair. They typically don't like human contact and I stopped
and we ended up in a stand off as I was inadvertently right on their
route into their "home" via a car park behind a church. They ran round
me and disappeared. Not really what you expect in Walthamstow!
