Cows on the line between Weymouth and Bournemouth were disrupting South West Trains earlier.

The cows were on the line at Dorchester South, which resulted in delays of up to ten minutes between the two towns.

Trains were running at reduced speed between the stations.

Earlier, a spokesman for South West Trains said: "Response staff are en route and will remove the cows as soon as they arrive.

"We are sorry for any delay to your journey this afternoon."

The cows have now been cleared from the line.
