Hello, hymek, and welcome to the forum!

I, too, have recently experienced travel on a single 153 - http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2045.msg15403#msg15403 - was yours the St Ives Bay Belle, by any chance?

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

No reports on how busy it was, but it was quite late by the time it got here (Saltash).

Is it usual to have a single 143 on the 08:00 from Cardiff to Taunton? I travelled on Monday and it was like hell in a tin can.
