Thanks for posting that very good news, willc.  Wink

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.

Railway group sees membership soar

The Cotswold Line Promotion Group has seen an increase in membership this spring.

The rise is partly thanks to a recruitment drive connected with advance bookings for a special train to Devon operated in May in conjunction with operator First Great Western.

At the end of May, the group, which represents passengers on the Oxford-Worcester rail route, had 1,721 members, up by 51 on the previous year.

For more details of membership, which costs ^4 per year for individuals and ^5 for families, write to the CLPG» (Cotswold Line Promotion Group - about) Membership Secretary, 4 Sandford Rise, Charlbury, OX7 3SZ.
