A monkey has been reunited with its family after being found at a train station in South Lanarkshire.

Passengers alerted the operator about the small animal at Cambuslang on Saturday afternoon.

ScotRail then put out an appeal to reunite the monkey, believed to be a marmoset, with its owners.

Hours later, the operator revealed the family had been found and the monkey was now with them.

ScotRail tweeted: “I’ve dealt with lost phones, handbags and glasses over the years but this is definitely a first! If you’ve lost your monkey… it’s waiting on the next service from Cambuslang into the town.”

The operator later added: “It’s good news people. This wee fella has been reunited with his family! Here he is one last time eating a tin of fruit.

“Canny believe he had a tin opener!”
