“Well, ewe don’t see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street! #WhatTheFlock #EweWontBelieveIt,” ScotRail posted alongside the image.

Passengers flocked to the comments to share images and sightings of the sheep on the train.

One person commented: “I wonder if he felt ‘sheepish.'”

Another was not amused at the animal’s toilet habits.

“Was on the packed train to Ayr on Saturday morning. Everyone thought it was cute until it decided to do the toilet,” they said.

While sheep are not specifically mentioned, ScotRail’s website confirms that pets — including dogs, cats, and tortoises — are welcome on board as long as they are on a lead or in a travel cage.
