Thanks for the memory, Valerie!  It is probably more than 40 years since I heard that line, but it has stuck in the memory ever since....

I used to work with the railway, and we had plenty of folklore and urban myths.  One concerned the issue of a chap who was travelling with his pet tortoise, quite a sizeable animal in its own travelling basket.  The ticket inspector asked what was in the basket, and the reply sent hum thumbing through the Conditions of Carriage to see whether any charges should apply.  

You really need an appropriate accent with lots of glottal stops for what he said: 'Dogs is dogs, and cats is dogs, but tortoises is insects.'  

Many more where that name from.

I’ve got the answer. It’s ‘no’! Next question: is next best option a coach ride Paris - London. Are pets allowed to travel that way?

No. Only guide dogs.
