Plenty of dogs lie down quietly under the seat/table and are not even noticed by other passengers until it's time to get off!

I’ve had far more people peeing, pooing and vomiting on my tram than I have Dogs.
According to the West Midlands Metro website the initial three-month trial to allow dogs on their trams has been extended until the end of February to gather more feedback from passengers before making a final decision on future dog policy: https://www.westmidlandsmetro.com/dogs-on-trams-trial-extended/
Did we ever get an explanation of what this post meant?Fire risk from possibilities of self combustion.
Missed joke. Disregard.Did we ever get an explanation of what this post meant?
I see - fair enoughMissed joke. Disregard.
This has already been discussed to death in a number of earlier threads about dogs on Metrolink, which has also recently started allowing them for the first time, such as this one: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/dogs-to-be-permanently-allowed-on-metrolink.243509/It’s extraordinary that they aren’t already allowed aboard. Dogs are permitted on the much bigger/busier Croydon Tramlink, so what makes the West Midlands metro so different?
I can think of one example of a dog making a big mess. I saw a youngish couple standing in the main area of Edinburgh Waverley just outside Pret, with a very very cute black Labrador puppy sitting by their feet who proceeded to pee all over the floor!Same on trains. I can, off the top of my head, think of examples of humans doing all of the above on trains I’ve worked, and much more besides, sometimes to the extent the train has had to be taken out of service. I can’t think of a single example of a dog doing so.
