A man has been captured on CCTV trying to board a train accompanied by a pony.
Shocked staff watched as the man tried to get on the train at Wrexham General station with the white pony in tow
After a conductor refused him entry, the man returned to the ticket booth where he tried to buy two tickets – for himself and the animal.
An Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) spokeswoman said "Horses and ponies, which may pose a risk to the general public are not permitted to travel".
The man tried to travel on Saturday's 1902 BST service to Holyhead on Anglesey with his four-legged companion.
The ATW spokeswoman added: "Arriva Trains Wales allows dogs and small animals to travel on-board trains.
"All animals, except dogs, must be conveyed within a fully enclosed basket or pet carrier with dimensions not exceeding 85 x 60 x 60cm."
She said the man later left the station with the animal, adding: "I'm not aware that anything like this has happened before."
Comment: Staff couldn't work out where the man was taking the pony. Current thinking suggests Horsesham, Winnichester, Derby or Weston Super Mare… My personal thinking is that they didn't allow travel because the unit was being stabled. Facebook
