I have sent my apologise because I will probably still be travelling.  In the unlikely event of my returning early it would be one not to miss!

There doesn't appear to be any (accessible) transport being laid on from the station this time around & it's a 1.1 mile walk (if one is able-bodied)
Neither has any invite been emailed around?

I could attend on Friday, as I'm now retired.  Wink

Red Squirrel, how will you be travelling to Taunton - by train?  I could possibly join you, if you can put up with my company in the relatively confined space of a railway carriage for an hour or so.  Grin

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.

I only just spotted this, Chris - been a busy couple of days. It would have been good to meet up; sorry to have missed you!

I'm just back; it was a good day with enthusiastic talks from Natalie Edwards of SWR» (South Western Railway - about), who seems pretty passionate about improving services on the WoE line, and Dan Okey on placemaking and stations. James White, who is now seconded to Western Gateway STB, also did a good piece on what they're up to in terms of the strategic view. Nothing all that new, but good to see how everyone keeps up their enthusiasm despite challenges around funding and direction.
