I was walking past Pinhoe station earlier when I heard the dulcet tones of the SWT (South West Trains) lady announcer advertising the forthcoming timetable changes.

I am not sure whether I was hearing things, but it appears she was pointing pax to a non-existent website..... www.southwesttrains.COM.uk

Can anybody confirm/deny whether I have hearing problems please?

Purely in the interests of clarity, the website of South West Trains (SWT (South West Trains)) is actually at www.southwesttrains.co.uk - in case any of our readers may be confused.

As to whether the SWT station announcements are actually misleading - unfortunately, I have no experience of them.  Can any of our readers help?

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.
