A BUSY rail route through Hampshire was shut this morning after a car apparently drove 50m along the line.
The small silver hatchback ended up next to the tracks a short distance from the level crossing at Brockenhurst Train Station.
Police say they were called at around 9.45am amid reports of heavy traffic going through the village.
It is not known how or why the vehicle ended up on the line.
British Transport Police were called to the scene to recover the vehicle and a police spokesman said the line had been closed as the drama unfolded this morning causing delays to rail services.
