A signalman frantically pulled on warning signs as a train was about to pass through the station at 60mph. The train managed to make an emergency stop.

An eyewitness said the horse then calmly trotted back to its field. He said: “The horse just appeared out of nowhere just as the train was due. The train almost ploughed straight into it. It was a close call.
“It was certainly quick action by the signalman that prevented what would have been an awful mess.” A Network Rail spokesman said the incident had caused a delay of around 20 minutes to services.
