Dog on the Whitby line (04/08)

[duncanp]

Reports say that the dog was using a rover to travel back to Kenilworth

via Barking, of course.

I think if I saw a lone dog trespassing I’d tell a porky by saying I saw a chap nearby in pursuit which would then get a caution imposed & hopefully save the pooch’s life.

Where there is a pet, there is always an owner.....

Had people looking for a rabbit last year!

So very true mate.

We had a large tortoise on the line last summer...

And Maryle-bone.

That's the danger of life. Southern dogs have co-existed with the third rail for almost 100 years.

Foxes don't fair too well in 3rd rail land, Dogs and Cats however apparently know about the dangers of the 3rd rail but not about wandering around in the 4ft. (There's a thread about this somewhere)

Many years ago DLR was interrupted by a swan on the track. The train steward happened to be in the front with the panel open and hit the emergency stop. They had to get the RSPCA to remove it, as it was too scary for the DLR guy sent to do the job!

The Elizabeth Line was shut down for a few hours just over a month ago because of a swan at Westbourne Park.

I never knew it had time-travelling capabilities; that must be why I can now get to Colchester in under an hour and a half

I am sure there must be a joke in there about the tortoise overtaking the train.

Well since the thread title is dated 5th, time travel does indeed seem possible...

I have to say that I'm more interested in Cats on Scarborough services than dogs on Whitby services.

Dunno what you're talking about, it clearly says 04/08 and always has done

That's interesting. I'd have expected foxes to be more adept at such things !
