If it wasnt for the video stills you would think it was a tall tail!

It is a good job Arriva didnt have to close the station door after the horse had bolted!
BTW - what is the horse power of an Arriva 158? (less thna one?)

 

[Doorslammer]

Chepstow 20 to 1. It arrived at quarter past 4. Put a monkey on it.

See what happens when all the livestock vans disappear...?

Ticket Clerk: "We don't see many talking horses around here"
Horse: "At these prices I'm not surprised!"

 

[wintonian]

Meanwhile, it later emerged the man and pony turned up at the accident and emergency unit at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, asking for treatment for the animal from doctor.

Why? :roll:

 

[Captain Chaos]

LOL WUT?

This guy certainly sounds as though he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I don't think you could make this up if you tried.

Could almost be a Tommy Cooper joke

 

[LE Greys]

Just seen it on the news. Not so unusual 60 years ago, but then they did have plenty of horse boxes back then.

The train was a 158, I believe. I can scarcely get myself onto them sometimes.

He was feeling a little hoarse.

O L Leigh

I wonder what the bets would be if he made it passed the booking office?

 

[LE Greys]

Three-to-one he makes it to the train.
Twenty-to-one it starts with pony on board.
Hundred-to-three he gets to his destination.

And all lost. He got to the platform and was turned away by the guard.

Ffestiniog Railway Locomotive THE WELSH PONY Spotted in Wrexham today

 

[Masbroughlad]

Oh, and its a false start at the red signal....

 

[sonic2009]

Maybe he was Going to the Newbury Racecourse for a spot of Racing ")

 

[Flamingo]

Ticket Clerk: "I drink a whisky named after you"
White Horse: "Eric?"

 

[Simon Poole]

Guess he had his lucky horse shoe when he got his ticket?

Or if he got into the train, would it end up being an horsex? like footex?

A hoofex surely?!

 

[strange6]

Instead of taking it to the ticket office, he should have just johdpured onto the train with it

 

[Masbroughlad]

Maybe he is saying "They named Deltics after racehorses, will they name a 158 after me?"

(Eric - of course)

 

[moonrakerz]

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...

I don't clucking believe that !

 

[Simon Poole]

Or he should had Gallop onto the Train, Once on the train the man and the pony would play Buckeroo to past the time away!

 

[WestCoast]

I don't clucking believe that !

 

[Statto]

I wonder what the bets would be if he made it passed the booking office?

Lol, probably wanted an each way ticket to Sandown Park, at £40 for 1/2.

If the owner was caught fare dodging wonder if he'll go to trial at Horseferry Road Magistrates Court.

 

[NXEA!]

I wonder if he was going to Newbury Racecourse? I'll get my coat...

 

[Statto]

Actully come to think of it, i think he was going to Aintree On the Pony Express.
