IT'S a baad night for commuters as 40-50 sheep have made their way onto a major route into Glasgow
The woolly flock has stopped trains outside of Bishopton station with teams from Network Rail and the local farmer attempting to round them up.
ScotRail confirmed that they would be attempting to keep trains in stations.

The rail operator said: "Trains aren't able to run through Bishopton as there are 40-50 sheep on the tracks. Staff from Network Rail are with the farmer and attempting to round them up.
We've got a backlog of trains around Bishopton now because of the sheep on the line. We're trying to keep trains in stations where we can at the moment.

"This screenshot from Traksy shows the queue building up, similar to how it appears on the signalling system.
Our colleagues from Network Rail are on the case. We're in regular contact with them and also the crews our trains currently stopped between stations."
