Cow appears at Glasgow train station after escaping from field

ScotRail shared images on its social media of the cow after it made an appearance at the Pollokshaws West train station.

The account and followers quickly started sharing puns, with ScotRail tweeting: “Just waiting on the next train to Cowdenbeef...”

Thankfully, the story had a happy ending.

ScotRail posted: “A few of you have asked if the wee MooMoo is alright. Here’s what Clare from our CCTV team replied when I asked...

“He came in, ate some plants, had a wee wander, licked his reflection in the shelter and made his way back to the field.”

Network Rail later responded, confirming that staff had attended the area and made sure the fence was secure.

ScotRail ended the episode with: “Well, I’ve milked the jokes out of this one. I’m udderly done with it. It’s now pasture bedtime...”

It is not the first time an animal has caused a disruption near the station. Trains were forced to stop in 2020 after a Highland cow got onto the line.
