A UK railway station was temporarily closed after reports that there was a lion on the tracks.
The alert was raised after a local called the police to report witnessing a lion and her cub outside a nearby pub. "Passengers are currently unable to alight from trains at Shepley due to reports by police of a lion in the area," said the announcer. Despite a sweep of the area involving a dozen police officers and a helicopter no sign of any lions could be found.
Shepley station closed and rail pasengers unable to alight after police reports of a lion on the line. As wild excuses for rail delays go, it has to take pride of place. Rail passengers were alarmed to be told that a station had been closed because of reports that a lion was on the loose.
