Dogs can travel on trains in the UK - National Rail advises that you can take up to two dogs per passenger on a train without charge, but they must be kept on a lead or in a carrier and must not take up a passenger seat. If they do, then you’ll have to buy them a ticket.

You can even take your dogs into a sleeper carriage for an overnight trip. You just need to book a place for them at least 48 hours in advance.

It would be great if we had this opportunity in Australia!
