BEWILDERED passengers were left stranded on a train as two signalmen had a punch-up over a pint of MILK.
Workmates Trevor Vallis and Tony Peckham had bickered for weeks about the temperature of their signal box fridge.
Trevor, 57, arrived at work on the day of the bust-up to find he couldnt make a cup of tea as his milk was frozen.
A row began and it is claimed burly Tony, 33, punched his colleague in the face. Silver-haired Trevor was left nursing cuts and bruises.
Meanwhile the unsuspecting travellers waited on their train a few hundred yards up the track in Deal, Kent.
Just days earlier Trevor, from Broadstairs, had complained to his workmate after a TOMATO he put in the fridge was left rock hard.
Both men have now been suspended from their £30,000-a-year jobs as bosses carry out an investigation.
A railway insider said: Were all in stitches. Nobody can believe Tony and Trevor ended up fighting over a pint of milk.
They are two of the most mild-mannered men you could ever wish to meet. But Trevor became convinced Tony was turning down the fridge on purpose to freeze all his food.
Trevor and Tony, who lives with his parents in Ramsgate, are expected to face a disciplinary hearing in coming weeks.
A Network Rail spokesman said: We can confirm an incident occurred. But it seems its just a storm in a teacup.
They said there was no major disruption to London Bridge trains.
Transport Police attended the station, but took no further action.
