"Man tries to board train with pony in Wrexham"

[jopsuk]

headline pretty much says it all

 

[Masbroughlad]

I think I have just about seen it all now!

Did they buy a return to Horsham or Winnichester?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

no, think he was going to Derby

(quickly slunks out of the forum)

 

[Masbroughlad]

Maybe if it were a 'nodding donkey' they would have been allowed on? They go to Heysham don't they?

I'll stop now, while a few percent of my credibility are still intact!

 

[Captain Chaos]

Perhaps he though the unit was being stabled?

 

[All Line Rover]

Bit of a crackpot there.

I can just imagine the look on the guys face in the ticket office!

Not bad!

....but it was a Mane-line service.

Wonder if he sold them a ticket?!

 

[Captain Chaos]

I reckon he was going to neighlsea & Backwell or maybe Weston-super-mare.

I wonder if he charged them the Accompanied Animals and Articles fare?

 

[allticketspls]

He was probably going to Weston Super MARE!!!

 

[Lampshade]

Bet he's got a long face now.

Ayeeeehah Trains Wales

 

[tbtc]

I know some people think Arriva are a Cowboy operation, but...

 

[allticketspls]

Of course with through ticketing they might have been going to see relatives at Blackhorse Road.

Come on guys, the jokes are really terrible. It's neigh use trying to be funny when you aren't.

Oh dear, someone got the neigh in before me. Thats a classical fail.

 

[Captain Chaos]

He looks like quite the fare evader to me. I bet he would be able to jump over the fence no problem.

It's ok. Were just horsing about!

 

[Masbroughlad]

Should have been travelling with CrossCountry Trials.

 

[WestCoast]

Arriva's reaction was very hoarse, don't you think?

 

[Masbroughlad]

Thats Arriva for you - didn't they fall at the first fence with their West Coast bid? While the other 4 survivors jockey for position.

 

[jon0844]

Does anyone find this quite ironic, given many passengers may find it quicker to travel by pony?

 

[185]

I hear the horse lives in a Doisher Barn.

Very subtle. :roll:

 

[WestCoast]

On a more serious note , I once sat next to a hen on a train in Tunisia, and by that I don't mean a woman...

 

[185]

If it was a TGV, the surrender monkeys would call it lunch.




Damn, that's wrong in so many ways

 

[Flamingo]

"Excuse me, can I bring my horse on the train?"
"Neigh, neigh, trice neigh!"

 

[O L Leigh]

I suppose it's too late to attempt to bolt the stable door...?

O L Leigh

 

[IanPooleTrains]

All these jokes are terrible

But without video evidence, there is neigh tr-hoove to any rumours that he was going to any stabling point

 

[trains2064]

All joking apart I once had a couple of small goats on one of my trains and often see a chap who breeds Bantum Hens travel with his new additions.

 

[merlodlliw]

A bit more about it here http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/nor...e-on-train-at-wrexham-station-55578-28712751/

The new Wag Express mark 2, starts on Monday via Wrexham, perhaps he got the days mixed up, as there was horse trading between WAG & ATW for the £600K subsidy to run
the 175 service to December.

The man is well known in Wrexham, often parks his pony outside the local Irish Bar, takes it for walks just like a dog.

Whhy would you want to take a horse onto the train? lack of common sense here

Or maybe he was TRAINING his horse into travelling?
