No doubt you've already seen this one from North Wales earlier this week. If he was doing it for a laugh then I could maybe understand it but he was apparantly completely serious and could not understand why his pony was not allowed to board the train.
The fact that he tried to buy a ticket for the pony pushes him over the edge and into idiocy. Well done that man.
STAFF at a train station had a shock when a man turned up and demanded to buy a ticket – for his pony.
And despite being told by Wrexham General’s ticket office worker that horses were not allowed on the train, he bundled the creature into a lift and led it onto the platform.
When the train arrived, the man attempted to board it with his four-legged friend, but was stopped by a concerned conductor.
An anonymous source told the Daily Post: “The man took the pony into the ticket office and asked for a ticket. He was refused and told that no horses were allowed on the train.
“But he said ‘I know the law’ and walked away. He got into a lift with the horse and walked it across the bridge and onto a platform.
“He waited for the train to arrive and then got on himself and was in the process of trying to pull the pony on after him when the conductor stopped him.
“Staff couldn’t believe it – most people thought it was a wind-up.”
The man is believed to have left the station – with the pony in tow – after a brief argument.
An Arriva Trains Wales spokeswoman said the firm had been made aware of the incident.
“Obviously passengers are not allowed to take livestock on to the train,” she added.
“We do allow small animals, such as dogs and guide dogs, onboard but not large animals that could pose a risk to the general public.
“The man was refused a ticket and was not allowed to board the train. He then left the station, so there is no need for any further investigation.”
