A YOUNG man fell asleep on a train to Manchester - and ended up in Glasgow.
The sleepy commuter had left Wolverhampton for his journey to Manchester but missed his stop on Saturday night.
He was welcomed in Glasgow by the city's Street Aid team who looked after him because he had never been in Scotland.
They managed to get him set up with a hotel room for the night at the Premier Inn.
A statement on their Facebook page read: "Have you ever been so tired you fell asleep on a train and ended up in Glasgow when you were only trying to get from Wolverhampton to Manchester?
"Tonight we came across a young guy in this situation, he'd never been to Scotland before so was a bit lost to say the least!
"We walked him to four hotels before he could find a vacancy, thanks to the lovely staff at Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre George Square for taking in this guy."
Glasgow Street Aid provide a first aid and welfare service in the city.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
