I have now split off a few recent posts, to form a new topic here, in view of the increasing levels of levity ...

But no stations with those names.

I can offer this and this, but no terriers - sorry.

In Wales. where it is a bit warm, the Brecon Mountain Railway are offering Pant.

As well as Bedlington, there are Manchester, Lakeland, Scottish, West Highland and Norfolk terriers amongst others.

Nice idea and good publicity.

I assume 'the railways' will not be offering the same incentive at Barking

From the BBC

Terriers are being welcomed aboard trains at a station which shares their name on a reopened railway line.

Bedlington Station finally opened on Sunday as part of the Northumberland Line between Ashington and Newcastle, which reopened in December 2024.

Operator Northern said the first 25 Bedlington terriers to arrive at the station on Monday between 10:00 and 12:00 BST would earn their owners a free travel pass.
