Hmm. That reflects on their cleaning staff team, methinks?  |

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.

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

An old joke about one of the books allegedly written by W E Johns - 'Biggles flies undone'.  |

11:10 Weston-Super-Mare to Severn Beach due 12:23
11:10 Weston-Super-Mare to Severn Beach due 12:23 will be started from Bristol Temple Meads.
It will no longer call at Weston-Super-Mare, Weston Milton, Worle, Yatton, Nailsea & Backwell, Parson Street and Bedminster.
This is due to a fault with the electric third rail earlier today.

Yes, that third rail at Nailsea & Backwell has always been a bit of an issue ... |

Last Updated:19/11/2024 10:18 The stabiliser rail always causes problems. At a guess the set was pinched to restart a Pompey Cardiff at the Temple Meads of Doom. |

Next they'll be asking passengers to drive the trains!
Might help with regular driver shortages.

I seem to remember back in the 1990s Great Eastern Railway having the idea of using commuters as guards although it never came to anything. |
