The Greater Anglia train was derailed after it hit the animals on the line near Thorpe-le-Soken at about midday on SaturdayGreater Anglia said the 10:18 BST Liverpool Street to Clacton service was derailed after it hit the animals on the line near Thorpe-le-Soken at about 12:00 on Saturday.More animals had to be moved from the line and, as a result, there were no services between Thorpe-Le-Soken and Clacton-on-Sea until after 23:00.
Greater Anglia said there were 100 people on board, and as the train was made up of two five-carriage trains, most passengers transferred to the rear five carriages to be taken back to Thorpe, where they were given bottles of water. It said the train was put back on the rails just before 21.45 and services resumed after 23.00 once the derailed train was removed and safety checks carried out."Greater Anglia staff, working with Network Rail and the emergency services worked as hard as they could to evacuate passengers safely off the train as quickly as possible and then make sure they were comfortable, giving them bottles of water," a statement said.
I hope they fired up the barbie for the workers, shame to waste all that steak.

Let’s not mention the poor cows, just that people will get refunds and we’re given water! Sometimes I hate the human race, no passion or consideration for other creatures on this planet!
