A diary note well ahead of time - 23rd July 2016 - Melksham Carnival

In 2014 we walked in the parade and handed out timetables

In 2015 we had no trains in the midst of Bath engineering works

For 2016 "MAJOR CHANGES FOR 2016! We proudly announce the FIRST ANNUAL FAMILY FUN DAY in The King George V Park! Details will follow soon!​" and it would probably be an excellent idea for us to look to have a promotion stall just prior to the summer.

I was there, in 2014, with welcome support from members of FoSBR» (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways - site), among others - it was a brilliant event!  Grin

It's in my diary for this year.  Wink

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.
