Pony Express

A candidate for news story of the year: a man turned up at Wrexham General station and attempted to board a train… with a pony.

Arriva Trains have helpfully released stills from the CCTV footage, one of which I have stolen to reproduce below. Click through to the BBC News report for a slideshow which includes such lovely images as Horse in Lift, Horse on Footbridge and Horse at Ticket Office.

A man, a horse and a train at Wrexham

I’m willing to bet that nobody would have batted an eyelid on Merseyrail.
