Cross border trains have been affected after a number of cows blocked the West Coast Main Line in Staffordshire.
Thousands of train passengers are suffering disruption after a herd of cows wandered onto one of the UK’s busiest railway lines.
Information on National Rail Enquiries shows the West Coast Main Line has been blocked in Staffordshire between Lichfield Trent Valley and Rugeley Trent Valley for more than three hours.
This is causing delays and cancellations for Avanti West Coast and Lumo services between London Euston and Scotland, as well as London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway services.
The Press Association understands there were difficulties contacting the farmer responsible for the animals.
The incident was reported at 8.57am and passengers are being warned to expect disruption until 4pm.
Tickets are being accepted on certain alternative routes.
