TRAIN services were delayed after a cow was spotted wandering down the tracks.
The stray animal made its way along the route on the Milngavie line.
In an update posted shortly after 10am on Thursday, ScotRail confirmed that the animal had been moved away from the line.
It said: “Services on the Milngavie line are being delayed by a cow on the railway, which has now been remooooved.
NEW: Services on the Milngavie line are being delayed by a cow on the railway, which has now been remooooved.

“Shout out to our wonderful customer information team, who monitor our CCTV cameras as well as answer your help point calls, for sharing that belter of a pic!"
This isn’t the first time this year a cow has caused disruption to the rail line.
In June, train services were suspended after a stray bull wandered onto the tracks between Bishopton and Paisley St James.
In the same month, a calf was spotted “waiting on the next train” in Glasgow.
The animal was captured by ScotRail’s CCTV standing in the outdoor shelter of Pollokshaws West station.
The images of the odd sight were uploaded to ScotRail’s Twitter account as the animal waited for “the next train to Cowdenbeef”.
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!
