Fury as snap of Southeastern trains staff member with ‘smelly’ feet on the chair shared on Twitter
Disgusted passenger Ollie Last tweeted to the train operator who suggested he report the worker to the conductor - who the employee was 'having a natter with'
A SHOELESS staff member has been caught putting his feet on the seat of a train.
The Southeastern trains worker was snapped by an eagle-eyed passenger tucking into a sandwich and hot drink while chillaxing with his feet on the seat opposite.
Disgusted passenger Ollie Last tweeted to the train operator who quickly recommended he report the worker's smelly feet to the conductor.
Ollie then revealed the conductor was already aware because he was having "a natter" with his relaxed co-worker.

Ollie tweeted: "This guy actually works for @Se_railway (unless he's just wearing the uniform for fun). A model employee right?"
When the train company failed to reply to his Tweet, Ollie added: "Normally I wouldn't mind and think 'fair play, he's had a hard day driving trains' but the stench of rotting feet is too much."
Putting feet on train seats can be deemed an offence under the Rail Regulation Act of 1889 and carries a potential fine of £50.
But it appears Southeastern Trains have no intention of fining their staff for the heinous crime, committed between Tonbridge, Kent and London earlier this month.
A spokesperson said: "We are aware of a photograph which seems to show a Southeastern employee with their feet on the seat.
"We do ask passengers not to put their feet on seats and expect employees to follow with their feet on the seat.
"We have reminder stickers on windows to discourage this."
