A video news report, from the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page):

Quote
This is the moment when rail passengers looked out to see a herd of cows trotting down a platform in south Wales.

Services between Cardiff and Swansea were disrupted on Sunday due to livestock straying onto the tracks near Neath and into the rail station.

The incident was first reported around 11:15 BST, National Rail said, causing hours of delays throughout the day.

Services resumed as normal by 19:30.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
