poration and consigned not less than 30 minutes before the due time of departure of the service
by which they are to be forwarded.

29.4 Confining of dog
The Corporation reserves the right to require that any dog presented for carriage shall be effi-
ciently muzzled or confined in a cage, box or other suitable receptacle so as to prevent such dog
from biting any person. The Corporation shall not be liable for the loss of any dog if such loss
arises directly or indirectly from any tendency on the part of such dog to bite any person.

or other suitable means of tether. Dogs in hampers, crates, or boxes must be properly secured
so as to prevent damage to other goods.

Except for guide dogs accompanying a blind person, passengers accompanied by dogs must con-
sign the dog at least 15 minutes before the due time of departure of the service except that when
the journey is by rail and commenced from a station at which there are no booking facilities
the passenger shall arrange the consignment with the guard. Owners must see their dogs safely
placed on the service.

29.7 Rail accommodation
With the exception of guide dogs accompanying blind persons, dogs will be conveyed by pas-
senger trains only when there is sufficient space or facilities in the guard's van for their accom-
modation and shall not be allowed in carriages.

29.8 Corporation's liability
The Corporation shall not be liable for loss when a dog, whether accompanied by a passenger
or consigned, escapes through the slipping of the collar or the breakage of the chain, collar, or
such other means of tether by which it is secured.
