'More commuter misery in rail replacement road transport cutbacks' - Daily Mail headline.

CfN.  Grin
Logged

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

Passengers on the First Great Western summer trial scheme queue for a TransWilts journey to Weymouth.
