Quote (https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/95b3/live/b3949bc0-4827-11ef-96f1-1967de2994a3.jpg.webp) The herd of 12 cows held up commuters on the Edinburgh to Glasgow line near Lenzie Trains between Edinburgh and Glasgow were delayed after a herd of cows wandered on to the railway line. Network Rail said response teams had been sent to deal with the 12 animals on the line near Lenzie, East Dunbartonshire. The operator posted on X, formerly Twitter, apologising to passengers for the disruption. It confirmed the herd had left the area about 11:00. Network Rail Scotland added: "We’ve no further beef with the cows at Lenzie, they’ve been safely re-mooved. Thanks for your patience if you’ve been delayed, we know it’s not a-moo-sing if you’ve places to be. We’re working to get ScotRail’s trains back on time." I think Network Rail have been milking this forum for those puns. ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
