It seems everyone is seeing Lions at the moment.

AMAZED train passengers were told they couldn't get off yesterday — because an escaped LION had been spotted near a railway line.

A police helicopter was scrambled after cops received two calls claiming the beast and its cub were on the prowl in Shepley, West Yorks.

Officers alerted transport bosses who immediately stopped commuters using the local station.

But normal service was resumed after an unsuccessful two-hour search involving 12 cops. Insp Carlton Young, of West Yorks Police, said: "We've had nothing confirmed and we've not located anyone who is claiming to have lost an animal."

He added that the force was treating the calls as genuine and that inquiries were continuing.

In May, police investigating claims of a tiger in a Southampton field found a dumped giant cuddly toy.
