Trains are one of the greatest inventions… ever. Not only are they useful as all get out, but they're also so magical to ride. Think of all the iconic train scenes from movies. Of course, there's the Hogwarts train, there's the iconic train meet-cute in Before Sunrise, and there's the many iterations of the classic train mystery Murder on the Orient Express. Trains inspire the imagination, unlike any other mode of transportation. I think it's because they're prime vehicles for gazing out the window (one of the most cinematic and romantic experiences you can have as a regular person).

But in real life, trains are usually a hair less magical and a lot more practical. But for a special group of passengers on their way to Manchester, their journey became like a storybook come to life, thanks to a few four-legged intruders. Scroll for the video and plan your next idyllic train journey ASAP.
