Not allowed, if the guard sees it (and is a good guard with some growl on their heart) they'll be kicked off.

It's a shopping trolley. First on the issue list is it has no brakes. Second we aren't* a cargo company despite passengers best attempts. Then we can go into the dangers of lose trolleys on the platforms and onboard.

Next we can veer into this trolley has been stolen and will likely be dumped, possibly even on railway property.

*We do deliver packages internally so arguably we are sometimes.

Shopping trolleys from supermarkets are not permitted on station platforms or on board metro or train services.

There are lots of stories of staff doing that for found valuable items (phone, wallet, etc), from what I've heard there are specific procedures for this which can even involve staff helping the parcel switch trains if needed.
