I have been taking a look at our pages outside of the forum and bringing a fresh lick of data to some of them.

At http://gwr.passenger.chat/index.html , I wrote

Quote
Writing in December 2013, we look forward to the completion of works at Reading, Crossrail, Electrification and with it new trains, a new management operation / franchise in 2 years from now and a further one beyond that, to East - West Rail, to redoubling of lines and extra capacity of passing loops and platforms, and indeed to lines reopening to places like Tavistock. Exciting times ahead.

Can members suggest an update for this paragraph to bring it up to date, in summer 2017?

With all due respect to Tavistock, I'd rather like to see to the rail passenger line to Portishead reopened sooner rather than later.

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.
