It has been a very sombre day for everyone at Exeter today, as we heard news that our colleague, driver Alison Langton was tragically killed last night in a car accident on her way home to Dawlish. I am sure everyone will join me in offering their sincere condolences to her family, including her two children that she has left behind... RIP Alison.  |

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.

I am a very junior member of the Gloucester Depot, and never had the privilege of working with Alison. However, I am certain that 'our' depot will echo my sincere expression of sympathy and condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

Words fail me, this is so very tragic. I am so sorry for all of her friends, colleagues and of course loved ones. When's the funeral, does anyone know? Unless it's a private occasion, it would be a good thing under the circumstances for there to be a small show of support from us, as representatives of "the travelling public"

Yes. In the few months she was at Exeter she made many friends. One of the 'Characters', she will be sorely missed. |

I'm very sorry to have to post this, but there has been a recent development on this tragic event: A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a mother-of-two in a car crash.
Alison Langton, 33, from Dawlish, Devon, died when her Honda car was in collision with a Ford Mondeo in Sannerville Way, Exminster on Thursday.
The 33-year-old driver of the Mondeo was arrested. The local man is being treated for non-life threatening injuries at an undisclosed hospital.
Police said the arrested man and Ms Langton did not know each other.
Ms Langton's family issued a statement which said she would be sorely missed.
For the full report, from the BBC» , see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7720571.stm Our thoughts are with Alison's family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time. Chris |

A few of us were aware that the "incident" may not have been an "accident" but couldn't post anything until something was made public. It's such a tragic loss, I didn't know Alison that well but the few times I met her she was a friendly chirpy lass and she will be deeply missed.
