even i am old enough to remember "livestock" on uk trains
various things caught my interest in guard's vans, racing pigeons and chooks etc were fairly common, a donkey was rather fun
"what is in the van?" was an odd pastime on journeys, but it was informative and developed a variety of useful skills.
ttdntas and one for the john connor academy curriculum
now to turn up with a bike and person needs booking
mid-sixties, get a ticket from the parcel's office, pop it* in the guard's van and it will be delivered, circus or steamer the trunk would arrive where it should
i did toy with the idea of piglet in a pram and decided the rail network was not ready for that , yet
*see donkey, the best one i saw was a donkey with a bag of hay loosely tied to the wall of the van, they had put down straw to give it a bit of grip on the floor and it was very happy although travelling "alone"
i have heard of others that are more unusual |
