Cow causes chaos on morning train commute

Train passengers were caught up in delays this morning as a Highland cow wandered on to the track.

The cow was spotted on the line just before 9am causing trains in and out of Glasgow Central to grind to a halt.

Council staff attended and moo-ved the cows off the track so passengers could get on their way.

The incident happened at Pollokshaws West in Glasgow, which affected passengers travelling from Barrhead.

A spokesperson for ScotRail said on Twitter: “Absolute unit spotted on the track at Pollokshaws West. Sorry if you’re being delayed due to this.

“Network Rail staff on their way to attempt to encourage these coos to mooove back to the park.”

The cow was back in the park by 10am. A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said on Twitter: “The coos have been retrieved and moooved back to Pollok Park. Our council team are working with rail staff to check where the breach in the fence is... maybe they just needed a wee calf!”
