Thats the crossing, it is half barriered but there been issues with foreign people + tracotors and trailors turning into Riviera (?) Produce right next to the crossing. The 15mph has been there a fair while now, I do hope it is temporary though as mentioned above. But I did here someone say it was staying until CCTV▸ was fitted???
yes i now where riviera produce is, so are these foreign people not being clear of crossing in time or not bothered using the phone for slow moving vehicles?

Gwinear Road Crossing has a 15mph restriction on it now, after some near misses with Polish farm workers...
isnt gwinear road crossing barriered? i think the "polish" your referring too could be the lithuanians, as there are about 40 lithuanians working on the farms around here at the moment, (i live about 1/2 mile from the old gwinear crossing if i'm thinking about the right crossing!). the one on the road between carnhell green and connor downs?

any one know what is being used, on another forum i'm registered (a ferries forum) a thread has turned to discussion about loco hauled routes, i commented about the weymouth saturday services and a reply was that it is being operated this year by a shortened 4 or 5 carriage HST▸ , anyone know if this is true?

Looked like Sunbury to me - but then I've never been by train there - but I have been there - never been to Westbury at all hence I assumed sunbury
so if aint photoshopped how is the most meaningfull clue so blurred
(note - I put my nice expensive camera onto auto to shoot everything - I'm crap at photography)
I'm on my iPhone at moment and zooming in function makes the sign name easily read as westbury!

leave plenty of time for your wetherspoons breakfst, pz wetherspoons is never very fast at serving any kind of food from personal experience, i was there on thursday night for curry night which was served painfully slow, i've emailed there management and even there head office to raise concern about the slow service and even once they decided to tell me 45 mins after ordering that they didnt have what i ordered when they told me that the food would be 20-30 mins ready, i have never received a reply from the company which i find quite appalling for such a large national company, even an automated reply/ mail merged standard reply would of done just so i was ackknowledged for my concerns of there running but oh well

and to clarify "up" is always towards London, even where the geography makes it feel intuitively wrong (not a problem in this part of the world, but maybe more so if you live anywhere north of London). Just to throw a spanner into the works, how would this work if it is possible to go either way to reach London? I'm thinking of the West Coastway Line between Southampton and Havant. If you head towards Southampton, you can go on the South Western Main Line to London. Towards Havant and you can use the Portsmouth District Line. see reply 33 above RE▸ exeter SD as the waterloo trains go one way and paddingtn trains the other way
