I think I may have mentioned this programme somewhere on the forum when it was first broadcast in January 2011 but I'm struggling to find any reference to it (paging chris from nailsea....)

If I didn't and I've imagined the whole thing then I'll just say it's a fascinating look at scheduled and holiday coach travel in the UK▸ (United Kingdom) (and further afield) in the pre- and post-war eras.

Available on BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) iPlayer until 8:59pm 18th December 2012.

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.
