When they said the sleepers have been suspended between London and Penzance, I thought ...
Brilliant!  |

I see the road safety campaigners have hit the railways, too. 30 limits in towns and traffic calming measures - there'll be a speed camera there next!
Edit: Network Rail to tackle train speeding.  |

North West Frontier, starring Kenneth More, Lauren Bacall and Herbert Lom.
One of my favourite films. Not only is there the miraculous bridge crossing, but various engineering problems, like blown up track and the lack of a pump to get water to the engine, are all sorted quickly and with amateur confidence. Who needs over-cautious and over-engineered NR» when you have Kenneth More in charge? On again today. A perfect afternoon film for a wet Bank Holiday Monday. I missed the scheduled departure of ' Empress of India' (aka Victoria), at 1405 this afternoon on BBC2, but fortunately I can watch North West Frontier at my leisure as the BBC» have seen fit to include the film on BBC iPlayer. |

Indeed - and despite subsequently losing both legs in a flying accident, he went on to win the Battle of Britain.   |

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.

Not to forget; driving an ancient car to Brighton, training as a doctor, being shipwrecked on a desert island, then being shipwrecked again after an argument with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, getting mixed up with spies and jumping off the Forth Bridge, and finally, helping sink a German flag ship.
