What do you make of that then?
I am aware that there are some strange people around, but that's just taking the wotsit.

Had it been April 1st, then I would have felt it a joke, but what was this bloke even contemplating, for crying out loud?

When I was on the job, I had over 40 bicycles on one DMU, fortunately only going 2 stops.

This was at Wrexham.... He wanted to go to Holyhead...... Where next? The ferry to Ireland perhaps.........?

Afterthought. He should have bought a Dog ticket and when challenged sworn the thing had grown!

Regards, 62440.

A great Dane or an Irish Wolfhound would have been nearly as large.
and you could get a free dollop of manure for your rhubarb.

The pony looks better behaved than many of ATW's customers on a Saturday night.

Where was he travelling to. Horsham?

I once heard a story of some people that kept a horse in an upstairs council flat. Apparently it was only discovered when the neighbours underneath complained about the noise.
