Last night the 21:05 TPE service from Leeds to Hull struck a deer between Selby and Wressle, with me on board! As I was sat right at the front, I felt the full force of the impact, a huge jolt at the right hand side and a large bang. I didn't know what on earth had happened but we began to slow down straight away and came to a halt in Wressle station, where the driver and guard alighted to phone Network Rail and check for damage. About 18 minutes later we started moving again and arrived into Hull only 13 down.
Must have been a huge shock for the driver, would certainly make you a bit weary if travelling at night in the future. Has anybody else here experienced an incident like this?
