We’re conditioned that when we hear of an individual trying to board a train without playing the fare, that individual is a human being… not a horse… of course.
Well an Australian racehorse got off course and made it’s way to a nearby train station where it tried to actually board the train
Security camera footage at Warwick Farm station in Sydney captured the moment a horse wearing what appeared to be a raincoat (was it in disguise?) entered the station and then ran up and down the platform while waiting for a train.
As the train rolled into the station, the horse safely stood behind the yellow line (showcasing better patience than most humans) and appeared to look for a door to open up.
Having noticed a horse on the platform (how could you not) the conductor, using good horse sense, kept the doors closed until the horse galloped away. The horse, denied passage, then left the station where it was corralled in the parking lot and returned to the stable.
The transportfornsw Instagram account had some fun with the equine interloper.
After a CCTV review the individual was located on the platform at Warwick Farm Railway Station. He appeared to pursue an informant along the platform before unsuccessfully attempting to board a train service. The individual then moved to the carpark area where he was taken in by his owner and he was returned to his residence in a stable condition. No one involved in the incident is intending to take any further action as the individual was only horsing around! 🐎
