Man spotted walking sheep on lead through station
Rail staff and passengers were surprised to see a man walking a sheep on a lead through a train station. ScotRail shared a picture of the man leading the animal along a platform at Paisley Gilmour Street station in Renfrewshire this week. It is not clear where they were going, though the next train due to arrive at the platform was one heading to Largs in North Ayrshire. In a social media post, ScotRail said: 'Well, ewe don't see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street!' The photo shows the sheep looking docile as it walks along attached to a red lead while a man sitting on a bench looks on in apparent amusement. A ScotRail spokesperson said: 'Monday evening brought one of the more ewe-nique sights on Scotland's Railway. 'We're used to livestock on the line causing disruption, but thankfully this visitor at Paisley Gilmour Street was on a lead and well baa-haved.' Social media users joked about the incident, with one posting: 'I hope they've got a ticket or they'll be RAMifications…,' while another said: 'Seen it at Baaarhead.' Others said they had seen the sheep being led along on a lead in Ayr and Prestwick in South Ayrshire in recent days.

City of Orillia regains ownership of historic former train station sold in 2019
A former train station at 150 Front Street South in Orillia, Ont., is designated as being of cultural heritage and interest. The City of Orillia has regained ownership of a historic former train station it sold six years ago after the property was deemed surplus. On Monday, the City announced it had exercised an option it had reserved in the 2019 sale to purchase the 2.4 acre property at 150 Front Street South. Mayor Don McIsaac said the re-acquisition is a crucial step in preserving Orillia's heritage. 'This building has stood for more than a century and holds a deep connection to our city's railway and civic history,' he said. 'We're proud to bring it back into public hands and look forward to exploring its future potential.' The Front Street South property was listed for sale in October 2018 for $900,000 and after multiple offers, council accepted one that it said exceeded its asking price, however, the purchaser's plans never materialized. The property was built in 1917 as a Grand Trunk Railway station and is the only unmodified railway station in the Sunshine City. After passenger rail service ended, the building was repurposed for government services and was once home to the Orillia District Chamber of Commerce. It's unclear what the future plans are for the property, but the City had previously explored transforming it into a municipal transit hub, which hit a wall based on the property's heritage designation, among other issues.

CCTV of three women is released after £10,000 in cash is stolen from train passenger's bag
Police officers are searching for three women after £10,000 was stolen from a man's bag at a London train station. The 49-year-old victim had been carrying the huge amount of cash in an envelope when he boarded a train at Paddington station on Friday, June 20. He went through a barrier at around 9.30am and walked onto the train, supposedly followed by a group of three women. The man entered a train carriage ahead of the women, who then walked past him and exited from the opposite end. He checked his bag a 'short time later' and realised the envelope was missing from his rucksack. The British Transport Police issued an appeal on Tuesday to help identify three women who may have information which could help their investigation. The force released CCTV images of a brunette woman wearing a white cap and sunglasses, another wearing a stripy cap and white top and a third dressed in all white, with a red and beige cap. BTP has asked for anyone who recognises the group to contact them by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 170 of 20 June. Cops are also searching for this woman seen wearing a stripy cap and white top in connection with the incident on Friday, June 20 BTP said in a statement: 'Officers investigating after £10,000 in cash was stolen from a man's bag have released these images in connection. 'At around 9.30am on Friday 20 June a 49-year-old man went through a barrier at Paddington railway station. He was followed on to a train by three women who then walked through the carriage and left at the opposite end.
