Taking a dog on the underground

I am not too worried about the mainline train but is it ok for me to take the dog on the tube? I have seen others with dogs so it is presumably ok, but just wondered if it was not allowed in the central parts of the network. One concern is the escalators. I have seen signs on some escalators indicating that dogs need to be carried. As she is 30kg this could be difficult on a long escalator. I can pick her up when get on and off but it should be safe to put her down while traveling up. This is a bit of a long way round for a short cut but you could take the tube to Waterloo and when exiting the station go via the Jubilee Line ticket hall. You will need to follow the signs from the Northern Line to the Jubilee Line, walk in the central section between the travelators (it's a long link) and then take the lift from the intermediate concourse to the Jubilee Line ticket hall. You may then also need to take a lift from there up to the Network Rail station - can't remember if there are just escalators or stairs there as well. It is possible to walk via Waterloo Road and then find the main station entrance if there are only escalators. There are steps from the Northern Line up to the interchange corridor level at Waterloo tube.. Be warned though that trying the above will add a decent chunk of time onto your interchange time. Also allow plenty of time to buy tickets for the mainline - Waterloo ticket office can be very busy indeed. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
