Watch as cows on platform delay rail passengers at Neath - 12 October 2025

A video news report, from the BBC:

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.
