Please find me a cat carrier to take on the train

I'm really thinking of taking her home for Xmas for five nights. My brother has offered to drive my case up there with the presents and I'm going to attempt to take my 7month on the tube (which she's done before) and then 2 1/2 hours on the train. I'm expecting the train to be quite busy but we will have a seat. Is it a really really bad idea? I'd quite like her to meet my family if I'm honest. She's very calm. What should I put her in that's easy to carry? I have a basic one for the vets but it's not that big do I need something like this? www.amazon.co.uk/Trixie-Nylon-Trolley-Elegance-Black/dp/B000V9AZVO

Get your brother to take her up. And take an extra case. Yourself.

If you absolutely have to take her home get your brother to take her in his car. A train journey for a cat would be incredibly stressful.
Surely the cat would be happier in its own environment with a cat sitter. They don't tend to enjoy 'holidaying'.
If it got out at your parents you'd have next to no chance of getting it back.

Ok. Yes my neighbour will come in and feed her but she won't play like I do and I feel bad but it's my first Christmas off work in ages. I'll cut it short to three nights then.

You would need a small case so it fits on your lap on busy train.

We have a cat brought into the office sometimes. He comes wearing a little harness and lead, and inside a handbag type carrier on the tube. At the office stays on the lead walking around, and they unclip lead and leave harness on whilst they are in own office with them.

The cat will be fine at home. I have a cat sitter. I have a camera that I can spy on the. To check they are ok and they are perfectly happy.

She's not a couple though and she craves attention through play plus it's her first Christmas!! (Joke) mind you she will be two weeks post op I do t know if that will calm her down abit. I feel bad enough today I'm halfway through a 12 hour shift I hate leaving her.
