Horse's train station stop turns heads

A horse ended up on the platform at Sydney's Warwick Farm station during the downpour on the weekend (HANDOUT/TRANSPORT FOR NSW)

Clip-clopping onto a train station platform, a curious horse has turned heads and puzzled commuters in southwest Sydney.

The horse trotted onto the platform at Warwick Farm station in an attempt to escape the wild and wet weather just before midnight on Friday.

It was sighted entering the railway station from the car park and shortly after police made contact with Transport NSW to advise a horse was on the platform.

In CCTV footage supplied by Transport NSW, a train pulls into the station while the horse waits patiently for it to stop, but decides not to board.

The horsing around lasted about five minutes as the animal paced the platform before being captured and led onto a float.

Transport NSW said in a statement that commuters should follow in his hoof-steps by remaining behind the yellow line.
