https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39609977.amp The article is around 4 years old, however the image immediately made me think "herd of cattle waiting to cross at Westbury barrow crossing"! I guess there's a prototype for everything. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

I'm always a bit queasy when I read about cows on the line after the Polmont accident in 1984 when 13 people died after a train struck a cow which had come through a damaged fence onto the line.
