Landslip between Bristol TM & Weston Super Mare

« on: April 09, 2012, 21:35:34 »

Seems there has been a landslip between Weston Super Mare & Bristol TM^‡.

It seems to involve cutting on the Down side, Bristol end of Flax Bourton Tunnel from what I have just read on WNXX^▸

Further information:

I suspect this is going to cause some issues tommorow morninng unless it can be quickly cleared up and the damage repaired overnight.

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.
