Finn's travels are fairly well documented here in the Coffee Shop. As I type were on the Kent coast having a break after a few weeks of illness. Me, not Finn.
Finn is a pretty chilled chap when travelling. Except on Class 165/166s for some reason. He never settles on them. Perhaps something to do with engine noise frequency. No other
DMU▸ 's bother him. Distraction with toys and treats only works briefly on Turbos. I thus try to avoid them. All other trains he's absolutely fine. Even steam. He's only ever been spooked once at a heritage railway and that was when a stationary engine blew steam from the cylinder cocks right beside us. Didn't give him a permanent fear. He'll happily pose by kettles.
On our long journey yesterday, he spent most of it sleeping on my coat on the seat next to me. I'll always cover a seat and will of course not do so on a crowded train. I'll also put him on the floor if asked to do so by staff, or fellow passengers. Most guards will interact with Finn as he enjoys meeting people. Yesterday I had one
SWR» guard ask if he could photograph Finn for his 'Dogs on trains' Instagram page. Finn posed perfectly.
Shortly, we're off on the bus from Ramsgate to Margate. Again, Finn isn't bothered by bus travel. He'll soon settle on the floor, waiting for some interaction with passing passengers.
