I was reading the Road Traffic Act. 1988 today and of course it requires drivers to report it to the police when they hit a dog but there is no legal requirement to stop or report it when they hit a cat much to the annoyance of some people.
I was wondering however what the rules are for trains hitting animals and if Network Rail or British Transport Police are required to report to the animals owner that a train has it their animal. Also are animals owners legally responsible if their animals damages a train?
