Metro and National Rail Enquiries went into ‘pun overdrive’ on Sunday when a lion was spotted in Shepley:
RT @nationalrailenq: Passengers are currently unable to alight from trains at Shepley due to reports by police of a lion in the area. #fb

NEWS That's MTN's first ever big cat mention in over 6,000 tweets. Guess Shepley's now a mane line station! #fb

@t11mys The reports we received were real. The area is now clear, lion free for trains and passengers to commute

@kate_gwilliam We often get cows on the line although I wouldn't class that as a wild animal!

@r_kempes no joke, it was on the mane line 😉

@kakarookee To be fair, both the weather and roaming wildlife are beyond our control, don't you think?

@chapmanfamily I've already had 'is that the mane lion/line' and does Shepley have a 'zebra crossing' outside? ahh cheers *blushes*

@pillowmagazine The reports we received were real. We're not sure whether the lion was actually real or not

@swlines If it snows this year, I'm keeping an eye open for penguins…

@shepley_lion Just had a thought, do lions like a certain sugared cereal or is that just tigers?

@tropicalontour To be fair, the lion does work hard to ensure there's no fare dodging.

Sometimes Sunday is a very long day. Apparently he was trying to get to Leominster
