AN UNACCOMPANIED dog joined rail travellers this morning when it boarded a train at Wokingham station.

The canine commuter walked itself onto the 9.57 service from Wokingham to Reading earlier today.

The dog was handed over to British Transport Police who looked after the bulldog until his owner was found.

The owner collected his rail-savvy pet just three hours later following a Twitter appeal from South West Trains.
