This is what it looks like when your train is delayed by … a herd of cows.

It happened at Hever station in Kent after an incident at somewhere called Cowden. Seriously.

#Cowden A herd of cows that won’t moooove from the track at Cowden (appropriate location) are causing disruption

Around 60 cows invaded the platform despite desperate attempts by rail staff to persuade them to take the bus instead.

It wasn’t all fun and games though. Ouch.

Fortunately it was all resolved in the end.

#Cowden The cows have mooooooved & all lines are now open. Residual delays while service recovers
