A YOUNG man fell asleep on a train to Manchester - and ended up in Glasgow.
The sleepy commuter had left Wolverhampton for his journey to Manchester but missed his stop last night.
He was welcomed in Glasgow by the city's Street Aid team who looked after him because he had never been in Scotland.
They managed to get him set up with a hotel room for the night at the Premier Inn.
A statement on their Facebook page read: "Have you ever been so tired you fell asleep on a train and ended up in Glasgow when you were only trying to get from Wolverhampton to Manchester?
"Tonight we came across a young guy in this situation, he'd never been to Scotland before so was a bit lost to say the least!
"We walked him to four hotels before he could find a vacancy, thanks to the lovely staff at Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre George Square for taking in this guy."
Glasgow Street Aid provide a first aid and welfare service in the city.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
