Man tries to board train with pony in Wrexham
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-13437279
Quote:
A man has been captured on CCTV trying to board a train accompanied by a pony.
Shocked staff watched as the man tried to get on the train at Wrexham General station with the white pony in tow
After a conductor refused him entry, the man returned to the ticket booth where he tried to buy two tickets - for himself and the animal.

Somewhat bizarre...

Re: Man tries to board train with pony in Wrexham
and this: 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.
A health board spokesman added: "He was politely asked to leave the premises by the Security Guard and duly left, taking the pony with him."

Re: Man tries to board train with pony in Wrexham
Not the whole story on the BBC, and thats where it gets even more bizzare. To get from the booking office to the correct platform he had to cross the tracks so HE PUTS THE PONY IN THE STATION LIFT and then over the bridge. It didn't surprise me when the report stated he was trying to get to Holyhead. No doubt he had an Irish accent.

Station attendant: Just hang on there sonny you're not taking THAT on one of our trains.

This just goes to prove, you can take a pony to the train but you can't make him board.
