Man tries to board train with pony

A man tried to board his pony on a train in the UK.

The unnamed man baffled staff at Wrexham station in Anglesey when he put the animal in a lift to get to his desired platform before pulling it on to a train set for Holyhead.

A witness said: "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.

"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."

An Arriva Trains Wales spokeswoman said: "Obviously passengers are not allowed to take livestock on to the train."
