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.

Yep If you go to http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/BNP.htmland replace BNP by any three letter code, you'll find where it is, other stations nearby and what the footfall is. (You have to be registered as a member and logged in for this to work) Also ... link to all stations by name on the "Station Comparator" link at the top. Do you realise there's a BNP and a CON but no LIB or LAB. |

Thanks Grahmne! I really like the lists it gives you. Although it is annoying to see that a station with a similar footfall to your local station get a much better service!  PS: Can we have a link to it on this website? |

Erm, sorry, Btline, but that is the link - just click on 'Station Comparator' in the light blue bar above - just under the wording, "no decent service at all!"   |

First North Western and (Virgin) CrossCountry ran a joint service at one point - two 158s coupled together in the Manchester/Bolton area. I have a vague recollection that there used to be a Northern service from Leeds to Carlisle that went forward to Glasgow as ScotRail, too.
Until a few years back, Central Trains drivers would drive Turbos on the Cotswold Line - a legacy of the line being part of Regional Railways once.
