Time for another caption competition me thinks.

A link below to a picture on the MTLS (More Train Less Strain) website:

http://mtls.org.uk/node/14

Take a look see and come up with a caption for it.

I'll start the ball rolling with FGW (First Great Western) employ new tactics to cram more passengers onto their trains.

The funniest part of the picture for me is the passengers who are waiting to get on just standing there as if what's going on is an everyday occurance on the Tokyo metro...probably is!

"No, Your Royal Highness, the Royal Train is not scheduled to stop here, so you ... are .. not ... getting off!"

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
