Title: Re: I Hope it had a Ticket Post by: Chris from Nailsea on January 17, 2013, 20:45:20 Quote Train manager Emily Mahoney-Smith, who discovered the two year old moggy, took her on board and fed her tuna from a buffet sandwich. She then contacted the RSCPA and Polly was taken to the vets when the train reached its final stop in Penzance. Good for her! :) Title: Re: I Hope it had a Ticket Post by: chuffed on January 17, 2013, 21:26:18 Reckoned aforesaid cat used up another of its 9 lives eating the tuna out of a FGW buffet sandwich...... :o
Title: Re: I Hope it had a Ticket Post by: Chris from Nailsea on January 17, 2013, 21:35:47 There's also a video news report (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21069298) from the BBC, which details Polly's journey:
Quote A cat is recovering after stowing away in an express train and travelling 1,700 miles (2,735km) in two days. Polly, from Plymouth, climbed into a compartment after she had been injured and ended up travelling between Penzance, Plymouth, Bristol, Swansea, Worcester, Oxford and London in "freezing" conditions. She is being treated by a vet in Penzance is due to return to her retired train-driving owner in Plymouth via a cat-box soon.

This is Plymouth lists the complete diagram the cat travelled. If no one posts it before me I will cut and paste it when I get home.

Now how about a little competition. What's the cheapest price you could make the journey that the cat took? Standard Class of course ;) ....and no 'rovers' allowed :D ::) :P Title: Re: I Hope it had a Ticket Post by: TonyK on January 17, 2013, 22:27:04 Reckoned aforesaid cat used up another of its 9 lives eating the tuna out of a FGW buffet sandwich...... :o No wonder it needed a vet.
