'Only Horsing Around': Runaway Horse Surprises Travelers at Sydney Train Station
A wandering horse joined commuters at Warwick Farm Station near Sydney on Friday night, April 5.
Footage released by Transport for NSW shows the horse at the station, where it stood on the platform as a train approached – and kept behind the yellow line.
Transport for NSW posted about a “missing individual” heading for the train station, writing: “He was reported to be wearing only a rug and demonstrating a bit of horseplay.”
In an update, the service wrote: “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!”
Local media reported that Warwick Farm Station is near a race course, but did not confirm whether this was where the horse had escaped from. Credit: Transport for NSW via Storyful
