Taking a Dog on a train?

Does anyone know if its possible to take a dog on a train with One Railway? I've looked on their site but I cant find the answer. Also do you know if they charge for them?

    If you go to the website and ask the nice Virtual Assistant Lady the answer is:

    "Up to two, well-behaved, dogs per passenger are allowed on the train free of charge." :T

    I travelled up to Norfolk on the train with my little dog and there was no charge or any problems at all.

    Thanks, now all we have to do is determine whether or not my little dog is well behaved :o

    Good luck, I find the Lowestoft trains worse than useless-especially travelling to & from Norwich on a match day.

    I'd be very careful what time of day you travel due to the overcrowding & also consider if you have to use the tube-personally something I would try & avoid.

    Luckily I'll be getting off at Stratford so there would be no need to use the tube. I agree, that is something I would rather not do with a dog.

    Ah, that's not so bad then. I hope he/she has a strong bladder? Then again depending on which train you pick you may have to change so this may give him/her a chance to do what dogs do.

    Good luck.
