Meet Nala: The Feline Ticket Agent Taking Over a UK Railway Station
Meet the Cat Who Became a Railway Station Ticket Agent
Nala is no ordinary cat. This 4-year-old rescue has taken on a very important job at Stevenage train station in the UK. She's become the station's unofficial ticket agent.
A Self-Appointed Railway Worker
Nobody hired Nala for this position. The station wasn't even looking for a new ticket agent. But Nala saw a need a few weeks ago and took matters into her own paws.
She lives close to the station, which makes her commute very short. This smart cat figured working at the nearby train station would be perfect for her schedule.
Taking Her Job Very Seriously
Each morning, Nala reports for duty at the ticket barrier. She checks every passenger's ticket with great care. Nobody gets past her without the proper fare.
During her shift, she only takes short breaks on the nearby newspaper stacks. Her work ethic is impressive for someone who gets paid in pets and attention!
Creating Community Among Commuters
Travelers don't mind this extra ticket check. In fact, many regular commuters now look forward to seeing Nala every day.
The station manager has noticed something special about their feline employee. Nala has been breaking down barriers between people. She brings local travelers together and starts conversations among strangers who might otherwise just hurry past each other.
Safety First
Despite her independent work style, Nala's safety is always the top concern. She wears a GPS collar so her humans always know where she is. Plus, she has a whole community of regular commuters and station staff looking out for her.
Nala has turned what could be just another busy railway station into a place where people connect and smile. All because one determined cat decided to create her own job!
