You can bring up to two dogs on the train without charge, as long as the following rules are also obeyed:
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, unless sat in a carrier.
Dogs must not sit on the train seat and doing so could result in you being charged.
Do not take your dog into the restaurant carriage. The only exception is if they are an assistance dog for the blind or deaf.
Train staff are authorized to remove dogs from the train if their size or behaviour is, or is likely to cause, an inconvenience or danger to other customers.
If another customer objects to your dog’s presence on the train, you are obliged to move it to another area, alternatively dogs that are muzzled and fitted with a collar and chain or placed in a carrier can be put in the luggage or guard’s compartment.>>>>
Hygeine ? Animal bums and feet on seats humans have to sit on ?
Several years ago, I used to travel twice weekly on an intercity train with my dog. I always tried to get an 'airline' seat, as then she could lie down under the seat in front, and I could hitch her lead to the pull-down tray thing in front of me.
That was much better than a seat by the table, as the person opposite me would end up kicking the dog! Not their fault, just not enough leg space!
Anyway, hitching the lead to the tray meant that if I went to the the loo, she would stay put.
Once when I needed to leave her, for that reason, I told the person next to me that the dog was tied up and wouldn't be a bother while I was gone, and he actually said that he'd had no idea there was a dog there!
Another time, I got on, and sat down in an aisle seat, and someone across the aisle asked me to move, as she had an allergy to dogs, so I did.
I would never, ever have dreamt of letting my dog onto the seat, whether the train was half-empty or not. She was not allowed on the chairs at home either.
I did do the journeys a few times with two dogs, but that was a bit stressful, I must admit.
