Tips for travelling with your pet
By keeping pets calm and controlled, journeys can remain safe and comfortable for all passengers and crew onboard.
Give them time to settle before boarding, and arrive at the station with plenty of time. We encourage carrying your pet to avoid accidents when boarding/disembarking. Once onboard, keep them settled by your feet, not in the aisle or on seats. Keep them on a short lead onboard, at stations, and around other passengers. Please keep in mind that some passengers may not be comfortable around animals.
Always bring water, even for a short train journey.
