You're sure it isn't a dispute over Jockey-Only Operation?

No, that would be canter-productive.
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.

An understandable reason for the cancellations. At least they weren't made on the hoof.

That's a rather blinkered view, if I may say so.

I can't think of a suitable comment, but since this thread has already been up for eight hours or so, it is rather 'after the horse has bolted'.

Indeed. During our Coffee Shop forum planning meeting in Westbury today, grahame was determined to post this particular topic - he clearly had the bit between his teeth.

Well, they'd have had to get it off the mane line, obviously.
