Is it just the light, or is 150 232 looking a bit dirty?

Thats strange.  I was on an HST (High Speed Train) on its way up from Cornwall today and it was also in the (very unusually) same condition. Wonder if Laira has a problem with its carriage washer as usually sets off Laira are in immaculate condition.

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.

Calstock it's a Great place to visit for a day out!

2 pubs, cafe, plenty of walks available including riverside walks, you can walk up and down the old Incline railway.

On a Side Calstock is the ONLY Ex Southern Railway station still open in Cornwall.

Having been resited in 1994. Sadly now a modern platform. Happily with buses able to interchange there. Sadly I think the bus (or some of them) may have gone ... certainly not First anymore.

And an incorrect answer. The current gunnislake station isn't the Southern station.

Which was precisely my point! And Grahame's too.

I'll concede if you've never watched QI, you wouldn't know the buzzer (I've since thought it's actually a klaxon) is sounded for an answer that might at first seem obvious and correct, but often incorrect due to a little known fact, common misconception or technicality.

Gunnislake isn't a Southern Station, it's a Cornwall Council/Highway Agency Station they Built it:
