Linda’s garden backs onto the station platform which is how eight-year-old Daisy became a regular at the station – she would be there from the first train of the day until the last train at night according to Linda.

She said, “She just decided she would meet, greet and get yummy treats from the commuters.

"She was a gregarious, loving, empathic and a very friendly kitty.”

The news was shared on Daisy’s Facebook page which gathered a lot of attention from commuters.

One person said, “I'll miss her. I always remember seeing her on a crowded platform 1 taking a whole seat to herself while other commuters patiently stood waiting, none of them daring to disturb her in order to claim a seat.”

Another said, “RIP Daisy, you were always so sweet and made my day when I saw you.”

Many people said the station ‘won’t be the same’ without her.
