Cows on the train tracks at Moreton (Image: Maps)
Cows on the railway line have been causing disruption for Dorset commuters.
Network Rail received a report at around 8.50am today that a cow had been seen wondering in the area of the tracks in Moreton.
Delays were reported of up to ten minutes between Dorchester South and Wareham as South Western Railway trains had to run at reduced speeds.
Following investigations to make sure that the cow was safely away from any dangers, trains are now running back on schedule.
A spokesperson for Network Rail said: "We have gone to investigate and it appears that the cow is now back in the field and did so naturally. Everything is running normally now."
