He doesn't go in a carrier
He has his pink harness on, but gets carried everywhere...lazy bum. (I wouldn't let him walk near other people/dogs/rubbish)He does walk to heel in the countryside though!
We walked to collect Ol from Nursery once! :lol::lol:He doesn't go in a carrier

I imagine you got a few strange looks :lol:

No one is ever about there. He had a cuddle with the Nursery nurses.
When on the train he got tons of attention.
We educated a few people.

Grim has been on the train quite a few times from Norwich to Manchester and back when I visit my parents. And I picked Smoo up on the train, took her from Sheffield to Manchester and the next day from Manchester to Norwich.
They were both fine. Sometimes Grim thumps and makes a huge fuss until I give him cuddles, but I trust him enough to know he won't jump out of the carrier and disappear. The journey is about eight hours and mostly they just sleep. Both of mine seem to prefer it to the car.

I've always wanted a bunny that would walk on a lead!
You're so lucky.

Cookie's been from Edinburgh to Liverpool by car and from Glasgow to Preston by train and he was much more relaxed travelling by train. At the start of his train journey I covered the front of his carrier with a towel but he kept jumping around so I uncovered it to check on him and he was much happier without it - I think it'll depend on the bun

Awww are u keeping her?
Becky asked if we could take Felicity, to be renamed Roxanne, after she damaged her spine when she fitted.
How could we turn down such a beautiful bunny?

It depends very much on the location and time of day.
On a quiet train, on a route with few or no changes, I think it would be fine. Ideally stay in the waiting room or similar of the station to minimise noise while you wait - the noise of through trains going past scares ME sometimes so a little bunny would be terrified.
Also if the train is packed you will have difficulties...the train I usually get is always jammed full of people, I often find myself standing in the vestibule pressed right up against other people and struggling to breathe let alone find room for a rabbit carrier :? we often turn people away at stations cos there is physically no room on the train
Maybe try the journey out first and/or seek info on how busy/noisy it will be. Its def ok in theory though
