No, I was on the 1628 Carlisle-Newcastle which hit sheep on the line between Bardon Mill and Haydon Bridge. They bounced along under the 156 we were on, causing damage to the rear engine, which was knocked out. The line was temporarily blocked while investigations into what we actually hit were under way (initially it was thought we'd hit a tree).
The driver and guard remained extremely calm and professional throughout, a credit to the company.
