Horse on tracks causes disruption to train services

A horse that was roaming loose on a railway line caused disruption to train services on Sunday morning.

It was found on the tracks at Albrighton, between Wolverhampton and Cosford, at about 10:00 GMT.

The lines were blocked until about 10:30.

The horse was removed by Network Rail teams, and the company thanked passengers for their patience.
