Dogs on Trains

Prof_Vanderjuice · 04-07-2007, 16:34

I remember that when I lived on campus at TCD the conditions of occupancy forbade pets or other livestock in rooms...

The cat on the bus, incidentally, reminded me of this (from the somewhat notorious British government petitions website):

I'm sure it would liven up his journey.

So what's the largest animal that can travel by train for free?
I saw a warble one morning. scary baxturd. 2" from front to the tip of his sting.

I've seen smaller mammals.

This lack of consistancy goes to the heart of the terrible customer service from IE. Like Derek has posted and the girl who was abused for having the cheek to try buy a ticket duruing the posted office hours, others getting pulled up for no tickets when tickets could be bought at the destination previously, are all symptoms of the same malaise.
I posted before that compared to Dublin Bus, the attitude of IE staff is poor. I've never seen any IE frontline staff pointing out rreasons why IE is crap or what reasons outside their control cause a crap service.

Several DB staff on boards.ie, letters to newspapers, calls to Joe etc. show that at the minimum customer service is given lip service there.

anyhoo back on topic.
Livestock- are horses livestock or bloodstock?
Thomas, I dunno where you've been, llamas are not small. you may have mistaken it for a vicunya or a guanaco?
And wouldn't werewolves be fine if it was
a) daytime, or
b) no full moon out?

But you have the right to graze sheep if a scholar or fellow.........

I will have to double check but only guide dogs are allowed, lap dogs were certainly allowed in the past and just about anything can go in the luggage van

Now thats an idea......you could save Hammond Lane a lot of trouble putting Jabba the Hut on board a set of Cravens and Mark 2's instead.

No you're not.

I'm not going to spend 3 hours listening to him singing for money

He doesn't sing, he just uses his mobile phone and want to keep his bucket.

As cattle could not be carried on passenger trains, it was not unkown, back in the day, for heifers to be transported as packages.

A school friend (fishing freak) brought about 5,000 maggots once - some escaped.
