This could've affected my journey to Taunton via Exeter today. Fortunately the agitated* bovine got her arse rump in gear just as I was arriving at Exeter St Davids from Templecombe at 0823. I was able to hop on the already delayed 1A73 and actually got to Taunton earlier than I would've with my scheduled connection. Thanks Ermintrude!

Are Network Rail able to reclaim the fairly hefty delay and cancellations charges from the farmer for this mornings debacle I wonder?

Some members of the Coffee Shop forum are clearly milking this topic, just for puns.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.
