Whoooa!!  &#8220;Sorry, no dogs except guide dogs&#8221;.  This is the first time ever that I&#8217;ve had someone try to board with a dog.  The owner then claimed to have travelled to Brighton on megabus with the dog, adding &#8220;he goes on all my megabus trips with me&#8221;.  That bit I definitely do not believe, and I find it impossible to believe that they got to Brighton by megabus.  The only service to Brighton by megabus is from Victoria Coach station and a dog in there would be very noticeable\/unusual.  A dog boarding a megabus service would not have got past a controller in VCS.  To be fair the dog seemed to be an agreeable sort; an ambassador for his breed :-)  But even his being nice to me and not biting me didn&#8217;t get him allowed to travel.
